A New Leaf Series explores the cognitive and emotional layers of the human condition. The images of disintegrating and decaying leaves are paired with text from a variety of scientific, philosophical and anecdotal self-help resources interpreting interconnection, transformation, symbols and patterns. The series asks the viewer to consider the importance of subjective perspective. Just as a quantum object can be registered as either a particle or a wave, it is our psyche, through conscious discrimination, that determines if an event reveals a deeper order of significance. The need to turn over A New Leaf can be triggered by a specific incident or simply as part of the quotidian flux; spontaneous, simultaneous or synchronous, the need to understand what is beyond the individual is universal, connecting human beings to a larger order.
