The book is a collection of observations and writings, focused on confronting the ecological degradation of the land, by the human who speaks of progression, but acts upon impulses of power and exploitation. 

 

Motivated by the writings of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, and the inspired books of John Gossage’s The Pond, and S.B. Walker’s Walden. The project focuses on the mundanity of land, expressing the significant beauty that destruction, disgrace and simplicity has when traversing subjects of a regressive nature, which is mandatory when encountering the foreboding, to re-inspire the sublime awe, within common round. 

 

I spend most of my time walking around areas of land that stands within the intersection of life and death, of birth and re-birth, of loss and of reclamation. The parallels between the newness of modern life, and the timelessness of the land

To live, is to offer my dying breath, to the soil from which I came.
