The Universe – the totality of all things that exist.
The universe is boundless. It is constantly expanding and changing. Through maps and photos, we construct a rigid and static structure to represent space. What would that map look like from the other side? Would the lines and dots align, or would they reveal a distorted image that challenges our incomplete vision. I am unveiling an abstract vision of the universe. My work is an exploration of the ambiguous nature of the infinite. Using geological maps, I am exploring the shifting of mountain spaces through time and space.
