Distance From The Equator

This project really hits home for me. It started out to be an “open-ended” Iceland themed landscape project, but this was what I thought before I landed there. Being in Iceland taught me that two far places could actually have something in common. The way I photographed Iceland was the way I saw it. Natural. After making many connections with the space and shape of Iceland to my parent’s new location in Florida, I couldn’t help myself but to alter my landscape theme. I then went back to Florida during a break, where I had an opportunity to “remake” the images I had taken in Iceland, but with a twist. I truly had such an amazing time making all these connections. In fact, it forced me to walk around and explore Delray Beach more than I had ever done so beforehand.
