The Earth is an interconnected environment where people have expanding reach around the world. Corporations and governments rely on the masses, yet people often have little say over the shaping of their community while these entities occupy their landscape. This work makes visual connections through space, revealing how the human community has become an augmented web of corporate and government control. The smaller often unnoticed things like a decoy pigeon perched on a fence relate to the big picture of globalization just as much as a quarry in the middle of a neighborhood or a fulfillment center encroaching onto farmland.
