CATCH N' RELEASE

CATCH N' RELEASE

ABSTRACT

A small body of work illustrated through digital photography, video, and screenprint on matboard in February of 2026.

This collection is focused on the themes of animism, environmentalism, and folklore. A what-if situation of what the world would do if it had to rely on nature fully once again, like the indigenous people of America. Drawing from my own indigenous background, I create a fantastical world inspired by folklore and animism. 

Rather than it being the end of the world, it's the creation of a new one. Following in the paths of our ancestors. Games of violence end in a lesson of mercy and the importance of give and take.  A lesson we could learn a thing or two from in the present day.
