My photography grows from the same instinct that shapes my illustration and animation work: a pull toward the quiet, the overlooked, and the not-quite-ordinary. I move through natural spaces as a watcher—someone who stays long enough for the subtle rhythms to reveal themselves. In these spaces, I’m drawn to the moments that sit between states: forms that feel both living and fading, shapes that seem to hover in the limbo between presence and absence.

I use my camera to explore that threshold. Through blur, soft focus, and intentional distortion, I aim to dissolve the boundary between the real and the imagined. Many of my images take on an ethereal, ghost-like quality—not to obscure nature, but to uncover the delicate tensions already within it: fragility and resilience, decay and growth, stillness and quiet movement. I’m interested in the strange aliveness that lingers in discarded forms, the subtle glow of things nearly forgotten, and the hidden gestures the natural world offers when you take the time to listen.

My photographic practice is a continuation of my fascination with the in-between. It is where I find stories: in the husks, the remnants, the shifting light, and the moments that pass unnoticed. Photography allows me to suspend these fleeting impressions, holding them in a space where they can be seen, felt, and experienced anew—neither here nor there, but somewhere softly in between.
