Dark Night of The Soul
This digital photographic narrative explores the forced isolation of quarantine, the grief of loss, and the complicated emotions that arise from mourning one’s abuser.
The coronavirus pandemic trapped survivors tumultuous home environments without their familiar support systems.
This series meditates on the creeping despair and anger brought about by gaslighting, the unhealthy coping mechanisms that often accompany abuse, and the struggle to exorcise the demons of the past.
Through confronting trauma, one frees oneself from old prisons. It is a harrowing journey, yet the darkest night is always followed by the most beautiful, golden dawn.

Frozen Moments
Portraits are frozen moments from a person's life. They are frozen memorials to that moment as the person continues to change and evolve. Though different in technique, these portraits capture unusual moments in the collective memory (COVID-19), mundane moments in a person's life that seem extraordinary to others (GORDIE), forgotten yet key moments in a child's life (Mother's/Father's Day), and moments that one might never have (RBG).
