Our lives are programmed vignettes of a paralyzed culture. Individuality is distilled into standardized, interchangeable, disposable working parts. Organic living emulate, to idolatrous proportions the merchandising produced by designer media…bringing everybody online for total global integration. Technological advances in the production of the photographic image and its manipulation reinforce our expectations of an existence where our needs are embodied in mediated reality. The photographic images presented here have been composed consisting of my original color and black and white negatives with video stills. They are deliberately rendered with a strong sense of pixelization to underscore the technological advances happening within the photographic medium and to compliment the artificiality of much of our existence. These images illustrate the frailties that make us human through the spiritual expression of light.
