The warmth of the sun. Fleeting shadows. Birdsong, footsteps, and the faint hum of cars. Interior. The sun is setting. Exterior. A reflection of dazzling light reminds of the beauty that surrounds. Time isn’t frozen, but the realm of perception is at once completely perceivable and magically ephemeral. The world shines in echoes of past experiences. Where and when are questions which, in this moment, have no answers and infinite possibilities. The mundane — complex and beautiful — refuses to be fully known.

Susan Sontag writes that the power of a photograph is to provoke the viewer to question what exists beyond the frame. In this series of photographs, I rely on photography’s ability to reference our existing world and remove objective signifiers through abstraction. I’ve titled the works with fragments of personal journal entries, reminders of larger thoughts only I know. Devoid of context, shapes of light and shadow call to us to imagine a world — or to remember the one we already inhabit.
