THIS IS DUST AND THIS AND THIS explores a common thread that bonds us in the human experience; we all return to dust. The project is an act of seeing, of reflecting, of accepting—an act of solidarity and a celebration with the absurd, mysterious, and whimsical moments happening around us. The photographs in this collection are a poem about you and me, about our ability to hold one another, about knowing that life is just one fleeting moment in a perpetual carousel—dust, sprout, bloom, wilt, fall, and then dust, and dust, and dust.
