The artwork was captured on medium-format transparency film and scanned using a drum scanner, a process chosen to preserve the innate, grainy texture that mirrors the organic qualities of sand, soil, and earth. The decision to work with film rather than digital photography was deliberate; it allows for a soft, living authenticity that resists digital replication. This distinctive grain fully reveals itself in large-scale prints, where it becomes an integral part of the visual narrative.

This series, titled Sky and Land, is rooted in a deep reverence for nature and the Earth. Photographed across various locations in New Mexico, including ancient and sacred sites, the work primarily features images captured at sunset in White Sands National Park, near Alamogordo.

The photographs explore the subtle interplay of color as pinks and oranges from the sky are reflected onto the pristine white dunes. Layers of clouds echo the undulating forms of the landscape, creating a visual resonance in which the sky appears to descend and meet the earth. Through this lens, Secret Sky Sacred Land seeks to convey the transcendent beauty of nature and the quiet sanctity of landscapes that foster a profound connection to our environment.
