Florida’s landscape, represented by the ubiquitous palm tree and water, intersected, cut into pieces by the relentless urban sprawl.

"Greener on the Other Side?"

Repetition. Repetition of lines, forms, elements.

Water, mud, sunlight, and bamboo poles are the ingredients for this abstract image. Like in life, everything is fluid and instable.The receding tide created these lines that last only a short time. The next wave draws an entirely different picture – impermanence and transience.

Transience

Desert Storm

Strong winds were blowing and softened the surface of the dunes. The highlights on top of the sand dunes in this almost all black image bring out the shape and curvature of the dunes and emphasize the soft texture of the sand.
