Statement:
My photographic practice is rooted in attention – in slowing down, noticing, and remaining open to what appears. I’m drawn to fleeting moments when light, movement, reflection, or the unexpected transforms the familiar and makes the ordinary briefly mysterious. I am interested less in describing what something looks like than in suggesting what it feels like to experience it.
