As human beings we communicate best with stories. They inspire emotion and lead us to action. Objects and places embody narratives of personal history and collective memory. The photos I work with take on form of visual vocabulary.

The first of these pieces, Once Inhabited, began with a photo of a store window in the empty streets of Soho at the beginning of the pandemic. Within days it looked nothing like what I first photographed. Whether it was the lighting on the street, or the place itself that changed is unclear. In order to ground where this piece was coming from, a sense of waiting for something I wasn’t sure I would believe in, became where the image held its meaning. I think of each these works as an invitation to form a narrative or to start a conversation.
