ARTIST STATEMENT: Animals Amongst Us documents the non-human residents of our concrete landscape. From the domestic companions who mirror our routines to the wild opportunists who thrive in our shadows and in the air all around us, these creatures exist in a complex spectrum of symbiosis, apprehension, and indifference.

My images capture moments of unforeseen symbiosis and resilience:
• a swan navigating a flooded parking lot as if it were a natural lake
• a pug mirroring the stoic patience of its owner
• a three-legged cat staring back with uncanny awareness

This visual census of the urban wild invites the viewer to look closer at the other citizens whose lives are woven into the fabric of our cities.
