Cannon Rebel T7 DSLR Camera, 200 mm zoom lense

• Artist Statement

  To create this image, I used a Cannon Rebel T7 DSLR with a 200 mm zoom lense. I used a high ISO in order to expose for the two rats in the center of the image, and to show the surrounding layers of earth. This image shows the constant relationship between growth and decay through the juxtaposition of living and dead matter.

• Creative Statement

  For me, creativity is seeing the potential for beauty and meaning in the cycles and routines in which I exist and take part. Photography allows me to demonstrate this interest in a concise format.
