is a visual artist and photographer, who recently moved from Maryland to New York’s Mohawk Valley after living in New Mexico for almost 10 years. Continually chasing light, lines, and contrast, Sarai’s photography seeks to explore the incredibly surreal yet sometimes endearing qualities of living in an almost inconceivably vast and diverse country; one that in some places is incredibly advanced, while other places are simultaneous stuck firmly in the past. Sarai acutely feels this strain between past and present, new and forgotten, change and stagnation, and uses her photography to explore these feelings and what it means to live in these surreal liminal spaces.
