This body of work was my first real exploration of intentional, planned-out photography. These photos are captured using a projector onto a black piece of paper (or my skin) in a dark room. The photos being projected are photos of clouds that I have taken. In photos where the track of the projector is visible, I took special care to raise the shutter speed and spray water to get the projector to show up in-photo. The focus of this work was to explore projections in relationship to both humans and nature. Stemming from the instance where people project emotions onto nature, saying things like “the sky looks angry” or “it feels so serene outside”. Nature in itself is without valence, thus judgments as to mood are entirely human-based. Taking this phenomenon, I decided to flip it, with raw nature being projected, and in some cases more didactically projected onto people. Ultimately, this work was focused on generating an aesthetic while also playfully questioning human nature’s disposition for projecting personal evaluations onto the world (and people) around us.
