Artist Statement

I am in a constant state of motion sickness. Change and movement are very uncomfortable for me. The most interesting yet terrifying change in my life is the vastness of the human experience and how its uniqueness varies from person to person. I have found little to no ways in my mind to grasp this thought and process changing yet impactful events in time and my life. But, there is one method that has helped me find peace; Photography. Photography does something our minds cannot. It captures change and makes time completely static. Photography shapes my perspective of the world and allows me to tell stories of the vast human experience and how it has impacted my life. I use portraiture and meticulously created sets to capture my journey with the movement of life and to express my emotions derived from societal issues such as sexism and the male gaze, as well as personal events such as mental health crises, eating disorders, and my experience as a woman in the world. I use both mediums of digital and analog photography. My photographs are my own unique encounter with the world. They help cure my constant state of motion sickness.
