In Regard to Nature explores the human desire to venture beyond the familiar and into the untamed wilderness—a space both chaotic and wondrous. This connection between people and the natural world often begins with roads that lead to trails and vast open waters that guide us toward places where nature feels raw and unfiltered. These entry points serve as thresholds between the built environment and the wild, allowing us to immerse ourselves in landscapes that are exhilarating, humbling, and unpredictable.

As we journey into these natural realms, we confront the complexities of our relationship with the land. The wilderness is not just a scenic backdrop but a dynamic force—one that reflects our own fragility and resilience. The shifting environmental landscape mirrors our vulnerabilities and limitations, reminding us of the impermanence of both nature and our place within it. At the same time, it challenges us to reconsider what it means to belong in a world that is constantly evolving.

Through this work, I explore not only the physical presence of humans in these landscapes but also the psychological and emotional experience of engaging with nature. How do we see ourselves within the vastness of the wild? What do these encounters reveal about our identity, our desires, and our place in the larger ecological narrative? In Regard to Nature is an exploration of these questions, capturing the interplay between humans and the wilderness—where solitude and adventure, insignificance and discovery, come together in a shared and ever-changing dialogue.
