Through his work, Dennis, a member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, New York, explores indigenous culture, identity, and assimilation,
Stories features eight large-scale images from Dennis’ series of the same name. Within Native American culture, stories and legends play a fundamental role. The stories seek to address the unknown while also instilling in listeners the importance of revering nature. The exhibition aims to showcase Dennis’ unique blend of traditional and digital photography which stitches together supernatural elements to construct vignettes that toe the line between fantasy and reality. Through Stories, Dennis explores the interconnectedness of spiritual belief and modern standards of perception, giving agency to Native American culture and the debt to nature humanity owes.
