“I'm strongly inspired by extremes of nature and geological phenomena. I'm intrigued, yet apprehensive by how my fellow humans choose to interpret the cause and future outcome of natural and man made cataclysmic events. I hope my work has the ability to engage the viewer, and spark reflection on the grandeur and fragility of our planet.
