Kinship

Three photographs

Kinship lives in gestures, distances, and the quiet ways people remain connected. These photographs trace bonds that are inherited, chosen, tested, and renewed.

City Edges

Three photographs

Living with Water

Two photographs

Water is more than landscape: it shapes weather, work, memory, and the rhythms of everyday life. These photographs consider the fragile coexistence of people, place, and the natural world.
