This writing serves as explication of thought-processes regarding the making of the thesis exhibition "Shapes for the Deep Unrest," installed in the UAG Gallery from April 28-May 13, 2017. In this document, the connection between spirituality and commerce is foregrounded. Other topics include the creation of the desirable image in commercial photography and the role of digital post-production in that process. Throughout, there is an exploration of ideas of mindfulness, mindlessness, and the intersecting flows of both time and information.
