These composite landscapes are a re-creation of places from an estranged homeland and include images that utilize fingerprints patterns that evoke the uniqueness of our connection with nature, and abstract landscapes where several sheets of photographic paper with variable cutouts are layered together imitating landforms that have formed over time. The fragmented images induce the viewer to draw on their own experiences to complete the work and by utilizing the textures of human fingerprints, they speak to our individual responsibility for our impressions upon nature.
