Statement:
In the Valley of Dry Bones is a collaborative fiction. The project combines appropriated journal entries that were made in a Los Angeles psychiatric ward with original photographs to construct a biographical and apocalyptic hero’s journey.
As a mythology constructed from fractured materials, In the Valley of Dry Bones aims to point toward the dissonance between hope and apparent absurdity, placing yearnings for love and significance alongside a dread of loss and existential futility.
