Destiny Manifest

2020-Present.

This ongoing series examines the mark that manifest destiny left on the landscape of the American West. I am interested in documenting the results of the United States manifesting its destiny across the west. I find the built environments to be reflective of the cultures that create them. I am also interested in the economic and political aspects of the environments and subjects that I photograph. This body of work also focuses its attention on the forgotten or not often thought about areas of our land. From old boom towns turned ghost, rural agriculture towns to industrial areas, city and suburb. I find this work, of seeing and showing the forgotten parts of the United States, especially in the turbulent climate of this country, terribly important.
