I am investigating is the human relationship between what is seen as a construction, and what is seen as a pristine state of nature. Many places I visit for my work are now seen as sites of natural beauty but were once deforested, only to be restored once it was realized how much value could come from bringing nature back to such a highly altered landscape. Often referencing plants and outdoor landscapes, my work explores the varying relationships between nature, people, and ideas about what ‘nature’ is.
