Fire Zone is a documentation of retail, office and industrial spaces damaged by fire in 2008. Two warehouses, which housed a dry cleaner's and tile business, were completely destroyed. The cause of the fire is unknown. I am drawn to the scene of the crime and all that it can suggest, the presence and absence of meaning, occasionally banal yet overwhelming with its aura. Fire Zone represents what is left behind in the wake of a tragic event and highlights the aesthetics of disaster, emphasizing it as an expression of place, memory and loss.
