I have really neglected my artwork for the past few months and I have finally come to the realization of what seeking new eyes and not new landscapes truly means. I'm hoping that this will be a major turnaround in my life that will allow me to attend more focus to my ideas and I hope that it will spark a deeper meaning in my photos as well.

 

The latest project I have undertaken is a theme set up by the Definitely Superior Art Gallery (DefSup), called Dislocation.

 

In the past few days of thinking about this, I have had many thoughts regarding this subject buzzing around in my mind. Some of my thoughts have been regarding corporate greed, the loss of the human identity, as well as the loss of our own self identity. In our society, we are told how to work, learn, live, what to eat, and how to dress, and when it is okay to "retire"; but why? These thoughts, combined with my thoughts of the natural world around me made me feel completely dislocated. We now see animals as an unnatural intrusion into our environment, and we ourselves forget how ignorant we are towards nature because we have grown up in a world made up of completely unnatural things.

 

I am left to wonder: " true happiness... where does it lie...

In becoming more connected with the natural world around us?

 

Sometimes you just need to trust your instinct.

 

I'm thinking this may be one of my submissions.
