WE ARE ALL MADE OF LIGHT
These images take place within a dream landscape in which a number of light-based entities live in another dimension that is both far smaller than this universe but also infinitely large. It is the place that these spirits inhabit between their various incarnations on earth. Despite the profound beauty of this dreamscape, a beauty constructed entirely from the entities that live there - since there is nothing else - the overwhelming feeling is one of longing for a return to life on earth. The photographs involve no digital manipulation and are the result  of briskly moving the camera, often while moving to music.
