Silvarium

Nature takes shape differently depending on where we encounter it and how we look. Seen through a window or from within a dense stand of trees, familiar vegetation can become an unfamiliar arrangement of surfaces, shadows, and overlapping forms. These black-and-white images bring attention to the ways natural growth occupies space, both within and beyond structures made by people.

Threshold explores the boundary between built spaces and the vegetation surrounding them. Windows and walls frame what lies outside, while leaves and branches obscure or extend across those divisions. A Forest Apart turns toward the trees themselves, finding unexpected forms in the spread of roots, the crossings of branches, and the spaces between trunks.

Together, the two series consider how framing changes our experience of nature. Architectural openings and the photographic frame each reveal a partial view, separating a small area from its surroundings. Within these fragments, the eye moves between recognizable trees and plants and the intricate structures formed by their growth.
