(Untitled Series) 2026

My photographs begin from a documentary foundation and shift into psychological and emotional spaces when arranged together as composites. I photograph fragments of everyday life and later combine them into scenes that feel expansive and isolated. The composites are shaped by experiences of loss, separation, and endurance, but resist narrative resolution. Rather than illustrating specific events or places, the scenes remain placeless and shared.

The combination of locations, moments, and conditions mirrors the way memory functions: layered and unstable, shaped as much by feeling as by fact. The photographs remain intentionally ambiguous, resisting a single interpretation or linear narrative.

In this series, the focus is less on resolution than persistence. It reflects remaining present within vastness, weathering what cannot be controlled, and continuing forward without spectacle. The landscapes offer no closure, only openness. That openness is where the photographs and memory coexist.
