Artist Statement

Tomorrow is today! I saw a quote recently that said something like, “Today is the tomorrow you had been worried about yesterday.” Tomorrow is continuously being created in what we value today. What we value we give life to, and preserve. Our beliefs and our actions give breath to the life that is to be tomorrow. These beliefs and actions are carried over to the next generation. The tomorrow being created starts at the roots of it all, the family and our immediate circles, from there it reflects throughout what is to be. My three photographs show: the support and love shared between an adult/family member and a child; the unity shared between a couple, and a group of kids of different heights and complexions standing together looking towards the horizon. The tomorrow being created is present in each of the situations found in these images.
