Artist Statement:

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 project 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.
