My photography leans into the spaces between clarity and blur, presence and retreat — the moments at the edge of perception that can pass before we've fully registered them. In my abstract botanical work flowers are pushed, often past recognition until what remains is closer to a sensation than the subject.
I want my work to invite a pause; time to slow down - not to solve what’s there but to stay with the moment.
