This body of work features places that once buzzed with life but are now devoid of humanity.  Places where you think people should be but aren't.  Objects that serve as stand-ins for people.  It begs the question: When the spirit of a person, place, or thing has parted, what is left in its stead?  This work echos my concern with mortality, man's relationship with the environment, the destruction of community, and what the future holds for the planet.
