PROJECT STATEMENT
I use metaphors of the journey, the voyager and transitory spaces (like hotel rooms, airplanes, etc.) to describe transitions as the sole constant in life and in betweenness as a state of being. The concepts of departure and arrival dissolve as the traveler keeps moving – a gravity towards constant change. The voyager’s home becomes the hotel room and the airplane. Spaces to pause but never to dwell.
