Memories-by-the-Sea

A casual stroll through the center of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California evokes a sense of whimsy; as if one is in a storybook. The effervescent nature of the particles mimic the early morning mists settling within this village-like beach city. Early morning tidal currents of this day establish the particle movements, while a seamless loop enchants the viewer. As our experiences become memories, towns also transform to harmonize with the shifting sands of time.

Breeze Through

An immersive experience developed from photos captured at a garden. Wind pressure conditions of this afternoon inspired the particle motion used to mimic the perceived tranquility of a dream that never ends.

Witch House

Bewitched by the memory of a fantastical façade in Carmel-by-the Sea, “Witch House” channels the allegorical tides of the picturesque town. Captured at dawn amongst an audience of crows, this composition of seven hundred photos and millions of particles spin in an infinite realm. 

“Witch House” is intended to display the personification of reminiscence and how we can selectively recall memories. 

Breathing Space

“Breathing space” roams through 142 million particles and an unknown number of deep breaths. A journey into previously unexplored spaces provides our beings with an inquisitive review of the shifting nature of light and color outwardly, while calming us internally. 

Distant Doors 

A cognitive reimagining of life paths presenting themselves within the threads of our predestination. Opportunities arrive and depart, as do our perceptions of intelligence and beauty. This reconstruction mimics our reconceptualization of everything we once experienced and imagined as time loops onwards.
