These photos depict an ascent of the Sierra Nevada mountain range from where it begins at a few thousand feet, to its heights that reach above 14,000 ft. Ascending the Sierra from the western side, it begins to take shape as one reaches 4,000 ft, where the foothills give way to mountains.

The series Sleepwalker focuses on the darker emotions we feel, especially the ones that creep out at night. I am looking for that hallucinatory tension one feels between sleep and wakefulness.

This image came from the collection 'Feelings will hurt me'. When I was living in LA - I felt like I couldn't get close to anyone intimately.

The distinction between grief and depression might seem insignificant to some, but the chasm between the two is big enough for guilt and confusion to bounce around in the turbulence, gaining velocity until it’s almost hard to tell the difference. One mocks the other, as if it’s a competition to determine which is more painful.
