As a photographer, I work to decipher realities in both urban landscapes and intimate personal spaces. My practice centers on exploring concepts like the floating present and the passage of time, often through images of abandoned and decayed environments. The intentional blurring in my work seeks to capture a fleeting flash of the momentarily real.
Reflecting on the visible and hidden layers of my subjects’ identities, I draw on a surrealist approach to perceive and respond to the environment, bringing to light what lies just beyond the surface of the real.
More recently, I’ve become captivated by architecture and the quiet discoveries it offers. When I walk through the city—something I don’t do as often as I’d like—I’m drawn to the fleeting details that transform a familiar building or street into something unexpected. Each walk feels different; depending on my mood, I might see beauty in a simple line or a familiar shadow in a whole new way. That idea of encountering something fresh in a place I’ve passed many times before resonates deeply with my photography, especially as I aim to capture those subtle, transient moments.
Photography is closely tied to my mental health journey, and during harder times, it’s often challenging to find beauty or even the desire to create. Yet I try to keep a camera with me, for those rare, precious moments when something stands out—a quick glimpse of light, a new shape in the ordinary—something I want to capture even if I might not fully appreciate it in that moment. When I develop these images later, I’m sometimes taken aback by their beauty, moments that felt invisible during an otherwise difficult period. This process reminds me of the resilience and perspective shifts that photography brings, often unexpectedly.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to channel my dedication to photography into co-managing WorkHorse Collective and co-creating WerkHaus Zine. Through this project, we publish themed photography zines by inviting submissions from around the world. Each issue brings its own surprises and challenges, teaching us something new along the way. So far, we’ve produced five unique issues, each a lesson in the art of curation, collaboration, and the unpredictability of creative work.
I’m open to new projects and collaborations! If my work resonates with you or you have an idea in mind, I’d love to connect and explore ways we could work together. Whether it’s photography, collaborative zines, or creative concepts, I’m always excited to meet others in the field and discover what we can create together. Please reach out—I look forward to connecting!
