Falling for NE

Created during my first month living on the border of Northeast and the historic Marcy-Holmes district, this collection reflects a deeply personal journey through the heart of autumn in the city. Known for its vibrant artist community and rich cultural layers, Northeast Minneapolis serves as both backdrop and muse. Through daily walks with my sister and her French bulldog, my camera became a companion in observing the subtle transformations of the season—the golden hues of falling leaves, the interplay of light on brick and concrete, and the way the city seems to pause before the onset of Minnesota’s harsh winters. This photobook weaves together moments of introspection and discovery, balancing the stark urban landscape with the fleeting softness of fall. Falling for NE is a celebration of transition, a love letter to a neighborhood that feels like it exists at the crossroads of creativity, history, and change.

The Growing Road

A quiet narrative unfolds in these photographs, tracing the spaces where time slows and the weight of memory settles like dusk on an empty road. The images linger in places often passed by—forgotten highways, the soft hum of late afternoon light, and the quiet pull of a world caught between what it was and what it’s becoming. There’s a sense of longing here, a searching that feels rooted in the spaces between leaving and arriving, between familiarity and the unknown. Each frame feels like a fragment of something larger—a story that doesn’t need telling because it’s written in the textures of a weathered barn, the shadows stretching across a two-lane road, or the way the air feels just before night falls. These moments aren’t loud; they don’t demand attention. Instead, they wait patiently, inviting you to slow down and notice the beauty in what’s often overlooked.

Square Dance

In the sprawling expanse of Texas, where highways stretch endlessly and small towns fade into the horizon, the square frame became a tool for understanding the landscape’s quiet enormity. The project began in Houston, a city that marked the start of a year of discovery and transformation. Inspired by Gerry Johansson’s disciplined approach to the square format, the work embraces the constraints of the frame, finding rhythm and clarity in its deliberate boundaries. This journey was shaped by chance and curiosity. Weekends became opportunities for exploration, with maps and dart throws guiding the route. The process was as unstructured as it was purposeful—a way to lose oneself in the dusty highways, forgotten corners, and unassuming spaces that define so much of Texas. In these overlooked places, the square format imposed a sense of order, slowing down the act of seeing and distilling each moment into its essential elements. The photographs that emerged reflect a balance between structure and freedom. The square frame’s symmetry imposes a kind of meditative stillness, grounding the vastness of Texas in its quiet details. These images capture the interplay between the rigid geometry of the format and the organic, sprawling nature of the landscape—a push and pull that reveals the beauty in simplicity.

Spanglish

Created during two trips to Antigua, Guatemala, in 2021 and 2022, these photographs inhabit the unsettled space between the external world and the inner self. They reflect the tension of moving through a place that is at once vivid and disorienting, shaped by a tide of emotions—wonder, guilt, loneliness, love, and the persistent ache of miscommunication. The work is less a document of Antigua than an exploration of the spaces between belonging and estrangement, knowing and not knowing. The images linger in the ambiguity of translation, where clarity and confusion intertwine, and the act of photographing becomes a way to navigate what resists being fully understood. They invite the viewer to consider the beauty and disquiet of inhabiting the in-between.
