Photography found me when the world was spinning off its axis during the pandemic. As an ICU nurse, I was desperate to feel something- to feel a shred of joy instead of despair... and to have any modicum of control in a world that felt completely out of control. I needed to see something beautiful again and more than that, I desperately needed to witness and document the intimacy of human connection. We had spent too much time behind glass walls, isolation gowns, gloves, n95s, and PAPR hoods. Photography was the creative outlet that saved my heart from completely shattering into a million pieces.
Today we're staring down another point in our nation's history that feels like a death spiral. Our streets, our people, and our freedoms aren't safe... and in this moment, creating something beautiful to put back into this world feels like the only thing I can do besides using my voice. This is my reminder to myself that the most precious things in the world like love, connection, and humanity remain even when they are hard to see.
There is a photography project brewing in my soul and in the coming days I'll be allowing the space to let the idea grow into what I hope to be meaningful, relevant, and impactful art. Until then, use your voices, call your house and senate representatives, and advocate for everyone that you can.
As I continue to work full-time in my nursing role, I will not be opening my books to client projects at this time. Thank you for your understanding.
