DICHOTOMY
"Light is unlocked, received and revealed as the fundamental penetrating force of the universe…”
says Lyle Rexer in "The Edge of Vision, the Rise of Abstraction in Photography.”

Light is an essential life-giving element, whether it’s the light that allows me to photograph, the light that emanates from a light bulb or the light that nourishes a flower. The seemingly contradictory natures of flowers and light bulbs come together for me in the images I call “DICHOTOMY.”

In this series, I explore color, texture and shape. Color expresses a positive emotion in my work. The beauty and diversity of colors in our world are a source of inspiration and reflect my wonder at nature. Hard and soft textures delineate objects, while repeating shapes unify images.

By discovering and revealing hidden nuances and unique combinations, I strive to provide moments that capture the unexpected.
