Doors are portals for the imagination to wander. 



Foreign & Familiar


PHOTO SERIES - May 2026

Moments I captured from my return trip to China, May 2026. What a bizarre feeling, both foreign and familiar. 

Shanghai, Nanping, Wuyishan, Huangshan, then back to Shanghai. 


Apparitions of Past Lives in Pursuit of May


PHOTO SERIES - April 2026
4 x 5 in



This photo series came about as a way to process the uncanny feeling of something from the imaginary suddenly taking form. A dream turned into a photo series, then expanded into a book, providing an opportunity to return to the very woman I dreamt of. Time is a funny thing and sometimes it is completely incomprehensible.



Dead Mail

What does it mean to grieve for someone you never really knew? 

A lost letter to my orphenage caretaker.
