WILD LIFE

Wild Life examines how images construct our understanding of nature. Borrowing from the visual language of wildlife photography, museum dioramas, and popular media, the photographs present scenes that appear documentary yet remain deliberately ambiguous. Animals that seem encountered in the wild are revealed, upon closer inspection, as carefully constructed images. Through this tension between authenticity and artifice, the series asks how photographs gain authority—and how repeated images slowly shape what we believe the natural world to be.
