Or No Side

Meditating on my home, Oceanside, California, and drawing on the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi I represent notions of impermanence in physical spaces, asking questions about the future of the region. In conversation with my own source photography, my work seeks a connection between reality, illusion, and intuition. This body of work is interested in memory and temporality, and the feeling of melancholy and powerlessness one experiences navigating endangered urban spaces that are subject to the homogenizing force of gentrification.
