I have suffered from anxiety my whole life. The Place Between My Head and My Heart speaks to the tension I experience between photography as a pure meditative practice and as a conflict between artistic choices about how I should shoot a picture. I use photography as a mechanism to suspend my mind between a place of overactivity and a place of serenity. When I press the shutter, I'm able to be present, even if it’s only for a millisecond. Time slows and stops.

We very rarely live in the immediate moment. This is a visual representation of that peaceful feeling.
