THE COLLECTION

The Collection is a photo-based body of work that begins in the body and expands toward the systems, memories, and wounds we carry and how they shape how we live, connect, and endure.

The chapters in this project explore childhood trauma, chronic illness, identity, and the subtle alienation that emerges through disrupted relationships to care, community, and self.

Each chapter stands on its own, while together mirroring the body itself: interconnected, responsive, and shaped by its environment.

Rooted in lived experience, The Collection uses symbolic objects, layered textures, and dense color to trace grief, rupture, and the ongoing pursuit of healing - inviting viewers to slow down, look inward, and consider what they carry forward.
