Self-Containment (8" x 12" Print - Edition of 5)

When I first noticed these light leaks that feature prominently in Self Containment, I wasn’t sure what to do with them. As I was puzzling someone walked down 7th and caught the morning light brilliantly - I had a notion to play with scale using a wide focal length. And so, when the next passerby was wearing hi-vis gear, the idea that the photograph could show our own self-constructed containment in the city centre came together.

I find reflecting on the fact that we ourselves make most of the problems we deal with today can be usefully contextualizing; i.e. change and decision only become possible once you realize your own agency. I hope this print reminds you of your own powers of perception and decision when you look at it on your wall.
