My long-term project, Supernatural, captures surreal landscapes shaped by extractive industries worldwide and envisions future archaeological discoveries and possible mythologies that could emerge about our lost civilization. I am drawn to mining sites, quarries, and tailings ponds, partly because of my personal history—my grandfather and uncle were immigrant coal miners who passed away when I was a child. High concentrations of minerals and acidity buildup from these industries create otherworldly visual forms and chemical elements, which I highlight in my work.
A key aspect of my practice is capturing the sublime and reframing landscape photography, a historically male domain, from a female perspective. I document my figure within these environments, draped in self-designed fabric costumes that render me an anonymous, female-coded subject bearing witness to the terrain. The veiled figure evokes mythological femininity as seen in ancient art. These images are not produced using AI.
