Unbreaking Symmetry is a photographic series exploring hidden order in nature.

Symmetry breaking in nature creates the infinite individual forms we see in the landscape. Unbreaking Symmetry “unbreaks” these forms using reflectional symmetry as a formal tool to reveal the hidden, fundamental mathematical order -  the formulas for perfect circles, squares, triangles - ever-present as beautiful, fundamental principle within the complexity and seeming disorder of the tropical landscape.

In the modified color version of Unbreaking Symmetry, “unnatural” colors create an extra layer of illustrative distortion, allowing cognitive space for pure geometry to emerge unlimited by an immediate documentary reading, while still retaining the factual photographic record.
