The 2-year-olds at the Montesorri School next door are screaming and crying. It's September and the little ones are facing a sudden new life. Their outrage at the mandate to change is loud and persistent, flooding the neighborhood with noise.

I feel a sudden solidarity with the toddlers. Because I have been ferociously screaming at my own mandate to change. A period of obstinance, which fooled no one, made me unhealthy and blocked my work. So the last year has been time to grow up, clean up and figure it out. My body is breathing again and these new images represent where I am now. 

Photography, for me, has become both witness and remembrance of the journey we all take—a visual meditation on the solitary moments that define our existence and the ceaseless drift of time. My camera seeks the traces of the absent, to memorialize them, before the final rendering of invisibility. Ultimately my images are a way in which to collectively mourn what is lost to memory and time, and to reflect on the nature of humanity. 

May you see what I see, or something preciously your own.
