“Wall, Weed, and Sky” considers the infinite and cyclical nature of beauty and being. The subject of the photograph is a once brightly painted, now fading wall on the costa norte of the Dominican Republic adorned by the crown of weeds that has grown in front of it. Color and light were used to manipulate the elements within the photograph so as to express more fully the protean nature of their existence and their beauty - and by reference, the beauty and ever changing nature of all things.
