Wherever we are---whether in an urban environment or a natural setting, nature envelops. In its dynamic, capricious, and ever-changing states, nature presides. Nature envelops our existence. We, on the other hand, reside within it. This project is dedicated to displaying nature’s awe-inspired traits, emotions and moods. Just as nature presents itself in an active state, this project is categorized with descriptive verbs linking nature’s actions. ‘Nature Envelops’ is an illustration of my admiration for its prevailing powerful cycles; thus, a sense of enlightenment. While we reside within nature, we must look towards nature in its kinesthetic form to experience and learn from it in order to complacently reside within it. This photographic project, with its intentional redundancies of the prelude ‘nature…,’is dedicated to my favorite powerful active verbs prevalently found when enveloped in nature. In fact, nature as an artistic medium is an anomaly, which much be showcased and proven worthy of depiction.
