Horizon Scan elaborates on how machines of war have altered our perception of the physical landscape. Homemade napalm is derived from aerial bombardment, much like the GPS on our phones. The work traces a shift in orientation from a landscape that stretches out beneath our feet to the disembodiment of viewing it flattened from above -- optics once thought to belong to supernatural beings, extended to war machines, and now filtered down to the rest of us, forever altering our cognition of landscapes near and far, and recontextualizing the surface of a planet we have so unmercifully damaged.

The series doesn't reference a singular place or landmass, but disorients through multiple intertwined landmasses, referencing digital imaging in relation to planetary surfaces and deep sea exploration; the last vestiges of human discovery.
