LEFT BRAIN

"Portraying the truth and being a part of history are what matters," says Hicks. His documentary work focuses on issues foreign and domestic. He feels that documenting ever changing social issues and human emotion is a means of provoking thought in the individual. Pondering the chaotic order of life and the limitless emotional responses of the human brain has led to a relentless desire to understand nature and human co-existence through photography.
