I can't help but to dismantle intrinsic value in my work. I think about harmonious things that are concentrated and sensual like the sea, the soil, the grass. ," says Rogers. In exploring them, I find a sense of freedom, a sense of empathy. I want to be present in the world that is being destroyed. It is one giant crime scene and we are all personally involved.
