Burning Tears

2024

Burning Tears was photographed during the rare convergence of the Perseid meteor shower and a severe geomagnetic storm, when auroras became visible over the desert caves I use for my spiritual grounding.

There with my father’s ashes, I worked on leaving the human-scaled Mother Earth whilst meditating on Father Time, documenting the space between seconds and minutes, flesh and the cosmic infinite.

My attention was set on leaving the human-centric Earth to find myself viewing the stars from the space of time and matter. This was my attempt to look out at the universe, not as a human, but as matter temporarily existing inside it.
