"My photographs are evidence of my constant engagement with life and all of its experiences, both good and bad. As an artist I have found that I must find some kind of intuitive tie or inherent connection to my subject matter before taking photographs. Some topics of my focus involved long time frames of immersion and education in a cultural realm, where other subject matter involved less time but a more direct immersion in a landscape or setting prior to taking a photo for the first time." - Brita V.
