Joyous Witness
May 2023
Joyous Witness documents a moment of radiant joy between two longtime friends in an artist's studio in Amsterdam. One of them was my childhood piano teacher—the first adult I felt deeply listened to me as I was becoming myself. I return often to the question of what allows a life to flourish. Sometimes the answer is not dramatic. Sometimes it is simply being seen, encouraged, and delighted in by another human being.
Forest Floor
April 2025
Taken at ground level during the first days of spring, Forest Floor lingers where life quietly begins again. Moss, fallen leaves, acorns, and new shoots share the same frame, reminding me that renewal rarely arrives apart from what has already returned to the earth. Much of my work begins here: close to the forest floor, where decay and emergence become inseparable.
Sakinah
November 2024
Sakinah is a black-and-white self-portrait exploring stillness, vulnerability, and interior light. Named after the Arabic word for a divinely bestowed tranquility, the photograph considers moments of quiet that emerge after questions of identity. Through minimal composition and dramatic lighting, it reflects on contemplation as an embodied act.
Ablution
November 2024
This self-portrait dissolves the boundary between body and landscape. The setting sun catches strands of hair until they become indistinguishable from light itself. I return often to moments like these—where the natural world becomes less a backdrop than a participant, quietly reminding me that we belong to it and effacing the lines between us.
