Ice Skates, Penn Hills Resort

Inside Penn Hills Resort in Analomink, PA, USA. Part of the series "Traces".

Wishing to expose the false sense of permanence that man-made structures ultimately represent, "Traces" explores the interaction of a permanent, undeniably universal constant (light) with seemingly permanent, but ultimately far more mercurial, environments (man-made structures). Through the use of both existing, natural light, and carefully controlled artificial lighting, a deconstruction of this reality occurs – one that draws parallels between the base fears of humanity itself (impermanence of life, loneliness, and eventual death) and the structures they erect – a shared sense of eventual and inevitable destruction.
