Through photo-manipulation I have explored and illustrated some concepts surrounding human evolution: the extent to which humans are corrupted by technology, as well as the sickly beauty of evolution itself. Using my imagination I worked from rough sketches before using Photoshop to combine my own photos with a few copyright-free images found on the web. I wanted to blur the barrier between reality and fantasy, and pushed my technical skills to make the images appear as realistic as possible. The images speak for themselves.
