Errer est humain; flâner est parisien.
To wander is human, to flâner is Parisian.

The photographs depicted here are about a river, but more importantly are constructed
as conceptual self-portraits. When deciding to come to Paris to make art, I didn’t
actually choose The Seine as my subject it chose me. Two banks divide this river;
The Right Bank, is considered the financial and economic section of Paris. The
Left Bank was known as the artistic/bohemian area of Paris. This separation or
split is something that divides us all. As I walked this river, crossed
its bridges and watched this city as an outsider, I began to think about how
this division pertained to me. The Seine became my muse.
