The Last Firefly  2015-Present

Using the disappearing and threatened firefly as a way to explore ecology and our changing landscape, this series explores how the firefly provides a mirror that warns us of our tenuous human future. Traveling to unique and rare communities of fireflies in Tennessee, Malaysia and Thailand that have learned to flash synchronously as a group, this project uses photography to show the visual beauty of fireflies and the darkness they inhabit. It also highlights the impact of deforestation, light pollution, and overtourism that globalization has brought on in the 21st century.
