Just Nee Photography

Artist statement: Fascinated with human strength and resilience, my photography focuses on urban exploration (URBEX). I see a strong connection between abandoned places and the complexity of the human condition. On days where we are well, we make sense to ourselves and seemingly to others, leaving us standing tall and filled with purpose and life. Over time, we inherently face unexpected events forcing us to absorb the frightening aches of change. Sometimes this can leave us feeling rejected, abandoned or empty. In this state of ruins, it is easy to forget one's purpose and meaning. These pictures are meant to resurrect hope and remind us that healing can grow from the most vulnerable places. This allows the creation of complicated beginnings that deserve thoughtfulness and attention, which ultimately form connections that are unique, vibrant and defiant of our decay.
