These are images from a series of photographs that were shot in June 2015, in a beautiful cypress dome in the Everglades National Park. This concept started with questions of human identity and behavior and how it relates to the creatures of this planet. Embodying this white bird created an empathic connection between the human and our majestic natural environment. A connection that seems to have been severed by our modern day methods. Wearing the metaphorical skin of the creature, stepping out of our shoes and into their claws, paws and hopefully not bellies. Searching for some kind of heron who seems to be an alien in its own environment. A heron whose plumes weigh more than gold.
