Reimagining the boundaries of movement, time, and perception, I take an embodied approach to photography, creating fluid, durational compositions that capture the traces of my movement and interaction with space. My images are dynamic, abstract narratives that challenge static interpretations of the photographic frame, presenting photography as an unfolding event rather than a fixed record. I embrace chance, imperfection, and improvisation as I explore themes of agency and gesture through the ephemeral that always accompanies us yet eludes perception.

Straightening the Staircase

Navigating the Rubin Museum's spiral staircase in New York City, Straightening the Staircase transforms its curvature into a linear rendering, warping and flattening the architectural experience. It echoes themes throughout Prologance where experiments with the capture of movement redefine the familiar and disrupt traditional spatial narratives.

Crossing 42nd Street

"40 Deuce Street, the weaver of magic. Sometimes beauty, sometimes tragic. Where glamour and illusion are the welcome committee. Where overindulgence becomes self-pity. Where pleasure becomes the absence of time, while dignity goes begging and confusion becomes rhyme..." - Umar Bin Hassan, Be Bop or Be Dead

Walking the Line

Reflecting on Richard Long's seminal piece 'A Line Made by Walking' where he used walking as a medium, creating traces of his intervention in the landscape.

"You've got a way to keep me on your side, you give me cause for love that I can't hide, for you I know I'd even try to turn the tide, because you're mine, I walk the line. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time, I keep the ends out for the tie that binds, Because you're mine, I walk the line" - Johnny Cash
