Recently, I began to focus on "fragments" of the natural world around me, increasing my awareness of small visual moments. My concern with environmental issues is an undercurrent in this recent work, considering, among other things, air quality and its influence on the colors of the sky.

The appearance of our sky is influenced not only by events here, but also far away, reminding us of how we are interwoven with everything on our planet.

This image was inspired by a plane ride over the Andes mountain range on my return from Chile.
