  Title: They Should Rule The World

  Art Medium: 135 mm film

  Description: While studying abroad in Iceland our group came across a young Arctic fox running around a populated parking lot. It was frantic and it felt wrong that it had so little power over the people and cars that surrounded it. I captured two tourists studying it as it ran into the nearby brush.

• Creative Statement

  Photography allowed me to fill a creative void in my life with increased freedom of expression and exploration. I played soccer since I was little but I never felt it helped me connect to the world. Photography has allowed me to appreciate the beautiful minute details that the world has to offer.
