Thin Places

Thin Places is a series exploring the idea of permeable boundaries between worlds, geographic, emotional, and spiritual. Created using laser-mounted drones in remote places, these images suggest veils rather than portals, revealing temporary seams where the visible environment intersects with the unseen. The work continues my exploration into how light can reshape perception, making the familiar feel momentarily alien.
