Photographed between 2006 and 2018 – this body of work is a personal meditation on the interdependence between humans, nature and technology. It asks the question: Will we use advancements in technology to bring us closer to one another and to our planet? Or, will “progress” continue to isolate humanity – distancing us from one another, removing us from the natural world, and the human experiences which sustain us? I will forever choose to believe the former. 'Of Matter and Time' is Hauptman's first monograph.
