Darkroom Photography
You Broke It.
7" x 7" Inches
, 2023
This series is about discovering forbidden knowledge and the terror that comes with it. The circular compositions look like keyholes, suggesting the viewer is peeking into somewhere hidden. It’s when peeping through small, hidden holes that forbidden knowledge is often stumbled upon. The photos show typically private spaces, like bathrooms and messy areas.
Some images include a figure taking your photo, creating the feeling that you’ve been caught snooping. This idea of being caught is continued with the repetition of distorted faces, wide-eyed or distressed. This distress is a reaction to how new information can fundamentally change its receiver. You will never be the same after what you have learned.

5.5" x 10" Inches
This series captures windows at night, using darkroom techniques to abstract the light into new forms. The work explores how light, space, and perception shift in the transition from dark to light.
Coming Home
, 2021
8" x 6" Inches
This series documents the transition from motion to stillness during a trip home. The first image captures the blur of fast-moving cars, chaotic and abstract. The second centers on a single illuminated doorway, stark against surrounding darkness. The final photo shows candles glowing inside a home, where light and clarity return. Together, the images trace a journey from disorientation to peace.
Consumption
8" x 6" Inches
, 2021
This series explores the cycle between consumption and waste, showing how one feeds into the other. A group of figures moves through a parking lot that is an empty, paved void representing reality. As the series progresses from light to dark, the subjects shift from stillness to motion, symbolizing the constant cycle of hunger, fulfillment, and decay.
Nature Contained
8" x 6" Inches
, 2021
This series explores how nature is framed, confined, and shaped by human perspective. A bridge cuts through the woods, light isolates a single tree, and a figure sits with dried plants inside a home. Each image shows nature not as wild or free, but as something held, bordered, or contained.
