Overlook, explores the interwoven history of photography and the landscape of the American West. The Four Great Surveys of the West as well as the Pacific Railroad Surveys acted as means to classify, catalog, and map the land. These images imposed a rational order on nature, propagating a belief that if a photograph could capture the vastness of the American Landscape, so could humans.

I employ the photographic medium to emulate historical and societal practices but in a gesture of defiance. Unlike the meticulous precision of the surveyors and naturalists, my images do not seek to reproduce the land. Instead, I aim to disrupt the conventional relationship between the body and the land, questioning the very act of photographing the landscape through multiple exposures.Â
