You need to have your eyes open because it's really scary what's happening.

The world feels overwhelming to me on every level. Just the number of organisms that live on this planet. Our politics, our violence, psychology, emotions; there's just a lot going on, right?

There's a desire for me in the work, even when I'm looking at the past, to be looking from the present. It's to be here now. It's looking in the present tense.

When people look at a photograph, they believe it... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.

We're all busy. It's a very fast-paced world. And art - and by that, I mean culture in a wider sense - is one of the few spaces where we're allowed to look and think without an immediate response or reaction.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

I'd grown up poor; I had no idea what it was like to be comfortable.
