Artist Statement

During the onset of the pandemic, I began to feel disconnected in the way I presented myself around others. I would shade aspects of who I was to create closer connections with the people in my life. Those experiences started to weigh on me, I began seeing those hidden parts of myself in the shadows cast around Portland. These photos I’ve taken are an exploration of the boundaries I’ve placed between myself and everything.
