ADAM FERGUSON | AN ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Photography was always a way for me to remove myself from reality, and to exist only as an outside observer. When I’m not traveling the world, being in nature is a place where I don’t feel the pressures or judgements of reality. There is more of a natural tendency to connect openly with my surroundings and let worries and fears dissolve. “Layers of Intimacy” and the other photos captured in those moments with the Yucca Plant were an embrace of intimacy and a yearning for a deeper connection with nature and the universe. As humans in a fast-paced modern world, we often forget how important it is to communicate and connect with nature on a more intimate level. Photography helps me remember this. From these experiences, we can learn to connect with one another without judgements and with only love, acceptance, and peace.
Adam Ferguson has been a photographer for more than half of his life. Creativity has always been an integral part of his journey in self-discovery and experiences. Currently pursuing a degree in creative writing, he’s on the path of combining his passions of traveling the world, writing, and photography.
