Artist Statement:

“I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY OF A PHOTOGRAPH, AS IN ALL OF ART, IS TO EVOKE AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE. THIS IS LIFE THROUGH MY EYES. I WISH TO SHOW YOU THE AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL FORCES THAT HAVE CREATED THE EARTH WE LIVE ON.”
This particular photo has been layered with another photo. With the chains (breaking free of any weaknesses) and the woman looking up to to the sky, and the Brooklyn Bridge in the background, symbolizes strength in my borough. When you think of Brooklyn think STRONG. Strong in heritage, arts, parks and strong communities.
