Signe notes: "I am currently a college student pursuing my passion of becoming a successful artist. Since I can remember, my world involved imaginative creations of what I observe. The satisfaction my mind and body receives when dive into a hands on project is purely euphoria. My eye is drawn to nature's organic shapes, textures, and colors. I am intrigued with what surrounds us, our environment, whether that be the trees or the structures that man has created. My photographs capture not only the moment and story of the content but record my emotional attachment to the subject. I strive for beauty and meaning within all of my photographs. They embody the mood of what is visible and what is not. I want viewers to experience not only what I did at that moment, but to have their own personally relationship.... their own story."
