Taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing are privileges often forgotten by those who possess all five; these sensations stimulate life and give existence its power. My inspiration for this photographic series came from watching an independent film in which an epidemic causes the human race to lose their senses one by one. The experience of this film intensified my own senses and I became fully aware of exactly how much dominance the senses have and how powerless we can feel if robbed of them.

In presenting these photographs, I hope to evoke each sense within my viewers. By either having the viewer empathize what the subject is experiencing, or by having the photographs heighten their own senses, these photographs will induce an experience brought about by the main photographic sense of visual perception.
