In addition, journal entries were analyzed, sorted and expanded to form a cohesive narrative. The process started in January of 2000 and ...

As with any other conceptual or artistic experimentation, the importance and beauty lies in the unrestrained reactions of the viewer. Perhaps, this is where the emphasis should be focused. Simply stated, the projects main objective is to encourage interpretations, discussions and thought about (but not limited to) time, decisions, memory, people and daily phenomenon. Please take your time, explore the navigation and enjoy the work.
