Nature is all around us, it encompasses so much of our time in this life we have been given. Feeling the embrace of the nature around him, Jack takes self-portraiture into an overgrown field, taking shots wrapped in a white sheet. ‘cocooned’ is a nod to how nature embraces all, it wraps its being around what inhabits it, making those feel like they may be wrapped in a cocoon. Only those who desire to change and grow can emerge a new being all together. In the photographs, the subject represents that very idea; ‘contemplation’ of growth and change, while physically representing a cocoon like state (while in nature, naturally). These pieces also represent an emotional/metaphysical control of growth in humankind compared to how nature continues to grow around us without a second thought.
