“The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.” — Nietzsche

Panarchy was started with a hypothesis that understanding of the world, in its totality, can come from any particular, carefully observed example of the unending process which perpetuates all life. The hypothesis is a philosophical quest through scientific means. The project can never be completed. Panarchy is meant to remain open ended. The photographs serve as windows for contemplation. By using plants the focus remains on natural processes, which are all processes. If Panarchy does have a concrete aim it is to create an endless cycle of looking, understanding, and doubting.
The images are autobiographical. The collecting and arranging of the plants is a way of expressing the awe and fear at being human. The images serve as a solace, a temple with which to make a connection, to share a silent understanding of being without answers.
