To say these photographs were without meaning individually would be untrue.  It is their collusion however that has given them greater significance.  It was late in 2015, sometime after the fact, that David Ryrie understood their connection and has been able to identify the world within a world that he constructed around himself and this world still exists.  These works was executed during a period when Ryrie’s  life was fragmented at best.  It was a time when the present had been consumed by the past.  These photographs are a document of his place in the greater world both physically and emotionally during that time.
