'Future Generations' is an extension of my graduate work, 'Premonitions of Entropy'. The series includes images of cityscapes that were small enough to be moved by two people. I wanted the work to feel larger than human on a scale that was manageable, so I used figurative elements to alter the proportion of the viewer to the object. Central domes are flanked by armored shoulders topping structures that resemble torsos. The later pieces in this series include elements from figures studies with flesh bulging out from imposed structures, emphasizing the impossible burdens being carried.
