Death Priests are malevolent entities, Keepers of death’s rituals. These Æthers can command great authority over someones life force. They were once mortals consumed by the fear of death, so much so that they defied the natural order of life to prolong their life span by ripping life away from others at any cost using ancient rites originally only known by death itself. Death priests are leaders of a cult of individuals within the Æther realm that are willing to do whatever it takes to avoid the call of death.

My obsession with creating a body of work unlike anything else I’d seen in photography, a body of work that feels distinctly unique on almost every level outside of the inherent nature of photography… that drive and pull to create not just what I love but to push my perception regarding “What is Art?” All of this brought me here. So many restless nights of old, wanting to create something that spoke to all of my influences and that felt truly unique and mine down to the core. I wanted to make things I’d never seen before, with the voices only I can hear. Something that reframed and deconstructed everything I knew about photography and photographic art. It’s been passion, it’s been obsession.

The man who raised me use to create wooden carvings with faces, deities and more. He would carve based on what his mind saw in the wood, just like I created my Art based on what I see in the photographs I take. When I think about the way I use wood and how my Transmirrored Art works, it almost feels like I’m doing the same thing, it’s almost like his gifts passed to me as strange as that sounds. The correlations are just…. Odd

From Rorschach's (Top Row) to Aethers (Bottom Row) From Abstract Subjectivity to Abstract Objectivity. From Mirrored photography to creating my own genre (Transmirrored Photography) The journey to creating my own distinct and definable style of Art through the medium of photography has been so so surreal.

A New Æther Vorynthar: Keeper of the word. The Vorynthar is a guardian of Eryssal, the primordial language of the Æther that shapes existence. They preserve the language’s sacred essence and protect it from corruption. Their voices resonate with layered harmonies that manifest as ethereal energy itself. The word of Eryssal holds power in itself, with ever word holding power over an aspect of reality. Mortals who encounter the Vorynthar can offer a part of their soul, years off their life, a special memory or core emotion to have a chance at learning a single word of Eryssal.

I’ve had someone imply that the creatures from my Æthers serious couldn’t be what I designed them as because there are wood traits. It’s funny because you don’t look at a marble statue of a man and think “that can’t be a man, it’s made from marble” Or “that can’t be a statue of an angel, it’s chiseled from stone” The materiel does matter but if I can transport you into my intent based on how I craft the art, it matters little. Yeah this dragon is made out of wood but it doesn’t take away from its power, if anything it adds to it.

A New Æther, The Nysarid. Nysarid is a wish granting entity of immense power, born of ancient smokeless fire and bound to the Veil, the space between the material and ethereal realms. Unlike traditional Djinn, the Nysarid is said to have been exiled from its kin choosing to meddle directly in mortal desires. It now drifts endlessly in a shroud of shifting, ethereal smoke, appearing only to those desperate or foolish enough to summon it. It is the manifestation of the countless secrets, lies, and broken wishes it has woven across time. To look upon the Nysarid’s true form is to risk madness or death, as it is said to reflect the darkest corners of one’s soul.

Crypto is going to succeed for the sheer amount of apathy and desperation in the world right now.
