Source Code:

An earthly landscape, the cosmological and the technological all come together in this series of haunting landscapes. I expresses my relationship to the 400,000 trees my father planted. Obsessively planting trees was his response to the traumas he lived through during WWII, while stationed in the Philippines from 1942-1944.    

In the world of computer programming “source code” is defined as “a set of instructions and statements written by a programmer.” I adopted the term to describe the translatable language through which the natural environment can speak to and redeem humanity simply through its presence. 

Catalyzed by my desire to decode the forest, I began by taking long walks with my camera and collecting ephemeral moments that spoke to me. The photographs hold the purity of digitally created spheres in an organic, mysterious and sometimes haunting ecosystem. I invite you to visit my father’s sanctuary – to wander, dream, and discover what speaks to you.
