Interstitium The Held Horizon

This image was made at Driftwood Beach during the final moments of night as the first light of morning begins to rise. The trees stand suspended in shallow water, neither fully submerged nor fully free, while the ocean loses its weight and becomes mist. Here, time is not passing forward. It is being held.

Price range: $87.20 through $2,160.00

Interstitium The Listening Ground

In the highlands of Boyacá, a lone tree stands at the edge of a lichen-covered rise, suspended beneath a vast, star-washed sky. A soft, directional light moves across the land, revealing texture slowly, deliberately, as if the landscape itself were breathing.

Price range: $87.20 through $2,160.00

Interstitium V Assembly

The Clearing presents the landscape as a stage. The trees no longer read as static forms, but as figures caught mid-gesture, as if a quiet dance had been unfolding before the light arrived.

Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00

Interstitium Where Time Decends

Interstitium examines the spaces between states. Between visibility and erasure. Between the earthly and the infinite.

Monument of Light I

This image was made near Miraflores, Colombia, where a single tree has stood long enough to outlive memory.  Long enough to witness lives passing beneath it.To hold conversations, shelter travelers, and cast shade over moments that were never recorded. This tree is not isolated. It is inhabited by history. By footsteps.  By pauses. By the quiet exchanges between people and place. What we see here is not just form, but accumulation. Of time. Of presence.  Of use. In this work, the tree becomes more than structure. It becomes a gathering point. A witness. A constant in a landscape shaped by change. This photograph is not about capturing a moment, but about recognizing duration. The idea that some forms do not simply exist. They hold.

Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00

Mother of the Moon

The tree opens itself around the moon, not to frame it, but to hold it. Its branches arc inward like arms, creating a space of protection rather than display. The moon, usually distant and dominant, is rendered small here. Vulnerable. Cradled within a structure older, heavier, and rooted to the earth. The usual order is reversed. The celestial is no longer the parent. It is the child.
