A Kind of Blindness, A Kind of Sight (2016-2020)

In this work, I explore faith and its connection to sight. Faith is a focused way of seeing that often looks past the present or reality into a hopeful, future-oriented, and abstract space. However, faith can also lead a person to ignore the present or reality, and therefore be viewed as a narrow way of seeing or even a form of blindness. I explore this complex relationship through fragmentary-type images that grant the viewer this same limited perspective, but also guide the viewer through the work through use of symbols and through a collective narrative that together may point to a higher meaning greater than the single image.
