The photographs in Origin[Redux] depict a Los Angeles that you’ve never seen. Just beyond
the facade of Hollywood, ensnared by serpentine freeways, exists a state of primitiveness…of
wildness.
Origin[Redux] invites the viewer to participate in fantasy. The imagery constructs a speculative
fiction which explores what the geography of greater Los Angeles will look like once humans
no longer inhabit the land. Gone are the skyscrapers, billboards, and other evidence of Western
opulence. In their place natural elements reemerge: textured geology, rugged foothills, lush
primordial vegetation, and a vast hypnotic ocean.
