Sometimes I feel like a ghost, wandering endlessly. I feel apprehensive about my life and restless about my future. I often dream about life’s possibilities. My daily routine is punctuated with walks in the neighboring woods accompanied by my dog. We cover the same territory, paths and bushes. The dog seems to relish each moment, grounded in the present. My mind, however, is preoccupied by the past, the future or by people who aren’t with me. Then suddenly, I’ll detect a slight variation in the light. It might present itself as a shadow on a familiar tree branch or as a glimmer of light on the surface of a quarry. I am struck by the beauty of my immediate surroundings and become lost in the moment.

This series attempts to give visual form to these emotional states. Focusing on the ephemeral, I am reminded of the elusive qualities of light, and life. Suspended between the past and the present, I think about the choices I have made and contemplate the future.
