Megan Cump's series, Feral, was shot during her solitary kayaking and hiking trips. She uses the natural landscape as a medium to explore the "metaphoric potential of the environment." She states, "These [photographic] explorations of the unknown landscape suggest a parallel, yet more internal journey, a voyage into the unconscious. In this way, I think of my work as intensely psychological, and each photograph begins to suggest a personal mythology, narratives of metamorphoses and sudden transformation. My work builds on photography's historic dialogue with memory and mortality, presence and absence."
