My photographs are the result of careful observation of my subjects. I believe the practice of photography offers the opportunity to honor what we see and choose to look at, the stories that construct our identities and spaces. I understand it as a form of attention and recognition — which ultimately is a form of — and a way of being in the world.
With my personal work currently focused on my home country, I want to collect and connect stories of mountains, gestures, the religious and the profane, queer tales, whispers, loved and unfamiliar faces, and the tensions between the past and the present. I want images to feel like a revelation, where we find something we thought we had forgotten or that, like children, we cannot name.
