Art is Life

Here are a few photographs from my 25-print 5x7 black and white photography piece titled An Occurrence.  The piece follows a Subject on a journey.  When displayed properly, the prints create a free-flowing-map-type-thing that loosely forms various paths, all of which lead to the same three final photographs.  The map begins at eye-level and ascends--so the display is totally lost through the blog format!

My intent was to show that depending of where you begin, a different journey awaits you, but ultimately you reach the same destination.  The repetition through the similarities in the photos evokes the idea that in your life you may revisit certain places, but these places always feel slightly different to you because time changes you.  The ambiguity resulting from the openness of the Subject's journey reflects life and the murkiness of our own personal journey.
