Setting up of new tiger farms, Japan 2008, Official Opening

My photographs examine the curiosity and increasing disconnection that exists between humans and the natural world. My work explores simulation, spectacle, and reconstruction. My practice looks at points of intersection with animals in our human-made world—our coexistence—and explores notions of their spectacle and the reality of loss through mediation.

In the past five years, my interest has been filtered through  documentations and current trends on the zoological gaze in zoos, natural history museums and circuses. I wanted to know why looking at  live and dead animals is considered enjoyable in our society. My work  serves as a point of imagination and discussion upon our relationship  with animals.
