FIELD NOTES
2018-2023
a photography project consisting of “visual field notes” during a tumultuous coming of age as i transitioned from my late twenties to thirties, processing loss, understanding purpose, and seeking belonging.
PORTRAITS & PROSE
2020-2023
a collection of watercolor-based portraits coupled with prose, both working in tandem to examine the poetry of body language.
“for just a moment, i thought i could fade into you –– a rare alignment of our ecliptic longitudes, bearing witness by naked eyes in starlight. how dizzying it is, to be drunk with the everything of you. to behold the everything of each other.”
BODIES IN BLOOM
2021
a collection of photographs that stemmed from a single question: what happens when we disintegrate the boundaries between the body and the space around it? these were on display as part of my solo show, “wishes from the chrysanthemum.”
SELECTED EARLY WORK
2013-2018
even in my late teens to mid twenties, a clear fascination with nature and the human relationship to it emerged. digital photography, poetry, and drawings.
