Land of Dreams - “Celestial Being”

A lone extraterrestrial figure from the an unknown world. I wonder; are they emitting an aura or some kind transmission signal into the ether? Maybe they are in the process of being teleported through a portal. Are they all powerful? All knowing? Are they fragile? Do they experience love? Is there even awareness of their surroundings?

In the Land of Dreams, anything is possible. Who do you think they are?

“Land of Dreams” is a series of images aiming to transport the viewer to a magical land of make believe. I set out to create this collection after my first visit to this incredible location & seeing the unique colors of the terrain and feeling like I was on another planet. I wanted the images to feel as unreal to the viewer as it felt to me.

I returned on 3 separate occasions, hiking solo up the steep cinder cone in the dark in order to have the appropriate light for what I needed. On each occasion I had the unique pleasure of complete solitude while I worked. With the unusual aesthetic & the lengths it took to capture & create it, this is truly my favorite body of work so far.

The location is not disclosed because in the ‘Land of Dreams” the where is irrelevant.
