In 'Past Life,' a clothed woman and a naked man are situated on a platform, floating through deep space. The woman is falling off the platform. She is in free fall, surrounded by the comforts of home and garden. The man is unconcerned. He faces away from her and contemplates his new life.

I feel we live in peculiar and disruptive times. In 'Past Life,' I set out to capture these moments in our lives when there is a sudden shift and we find ourselves disassociated from our past and living in an eternal present.
