The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, the space from the ground up to the sky ending just below the stratosphere. In this body of work, there is a disorientation experienced through the horizonless landscape, as though we are in free fall. The textural surface of the landscape offers a sense of grounding while luminescent colors evoke those of a sunrise, inviting a gaze that is contemplative rather than extractive. Through this gaze a way in can be found, led by animal footprints across the crusty endorheic basins of the desert, connecting life to existence, helping us find gravity within altered perspectives.
