In this series, I explore the universal longing for paradise that disguises our search for the Mother archetype. During this critical time, in which we are facing the mass extinction of countless fellow species due to the unchecked expansion of patriarchal systems of industry and global economies, I document how we frame and interact with animals, ecosystems, and each other in parks, museums, and other commons. Sometimes I purposely go out with my point and shoot Cannon. Other times, I seize the moment and just use my smartphone lens.
