In my latest artistic pursuits, I have been exploring the juxtaposition of the landscape and the young girl to create an unsettling feeling. The figure of the young girl suggests liminality, a borderlands region to be explored. As a child, she is a figure of a temporary state that is simultaneously emblematic of anxieties over passing time and a vehicle of hope for the future. She is set within the glorious purity of nature (a setting that is absent of the weight of modernization). Both young girl and panoramic landscape are motifs of innocence and vulnerable fragility.

The lost girls are set on a small parcel of land that makes up a 50 acre oasis of undeveloped woods and wetland that seems to be in the way of progress. The recent fight to rezone this 2 acre parcel seems to be the beginning of the end of existence for plants and animals that call it home.
