Artist Statement:

Albedo, a scientific term referring to the measure of light or radiation reflected by a surface — is a quiet reckoning with the weight of memory and the long shadows cast by a troubled childhood. Made entirely at night in the snow-covered stillness of Minnesota, the work is a study of light and time—each photograph shaped by the slow accumulation of ambient glow. Childhood relics, neglected cars, and forgotten spaces become stage sets for a meditation on safety, isolation, and the fleeting moments of solace that punctuate the darkness. It’s a story of waiting—for light, for warmth, for something that feels like home.
