Thank you to juror Samantha Johnson for inclusion of my series SUPERPOWERS in this exhibition!
In 2016, I was given the opportunity by PROJECT IMAGINE to teach art sessions to hospitalized children. I presented each child the opportunity to creatively explore his or her hospital room with a thermal camera. For 20 minutes, each child had superpowers, seeing and photographing the unseen. After 20 minutes, I used a high-resolution thermal camera to capture a portrait of each child.
Through this project I offered the children a gift of diversion, yet my intent was to offer much more than that. I proposed an alternate mindset, one that promotes individuality, creative expression and a connection to others through the convergence of art and science.
