Scale, light, and time shape these images in ways that invite attention to lift beyond the immediate and rest in something larger. This is not awe as spectacle. It arrives more quietly than that, as a subtle shift in perspective, a momentary loosening of the boundaries between the self and the scene. These images create the conditions for that experience without forcing it.
The works in this gallery include glaciers and granite spires, canyon rims at first light, slot canyons glowing from within, and the Milky Way arcing over desert and savanna. Because awe widens perspective rather than quieting it, these works suit rooms where a larger view is welcome: living rooms, offices and conference rooms, entryways, and the lobbies of professional spaces. They also reward scale, and many are at their best in the larger sizes, where the image can fill more of the field of view.
