The Unnatural World series explores the clash of scenic beauty and the human expressions that simultaneously impede, deface, degrade, and obscure our environment. The series, featuring landscape images shot in Iceland, Death Valley, Yosemite, the Sierras, Big Sur, and San Francisco, evokes a hybrid and surreal visual field where nihilistic expressions of disillusionment offset beauty — both real and imagined. Inspired by circular design principles, the images employ optical layering to infuse landscapes with images representing the disharmony between nature/humans.
