“This work is a documentation of the environments – both physical and mental – through which life’s path takes me. In the play of light and shadows over crumbling walls, weathered streets, and open skies, I find a poignant visual metaphor for my own internal environments. These prints represent the intersection of these two seemingly separate worlds, united in their exposure to the onslaught of time, and by the unshakable inevitability of change.” – Sean Hurley
