I am a photographic artist and filmmaker with impaired vision. My work explores the connection between degraded eyesight, memory, truth, and personal history.
Message
Mother May I, Day 39 (in two parts) reflects on the charged space between consent, urge, restraint, intimacy, and vulnerability. The diptych format underscores this duality: one panel gestures toward closeness, the other toward distance. The blurred figure resists definition, leaving only the raw vulnerability of desire and the openness of both bodily and emotional adventure.
This work builds upon my experimental photographs, which utilize altered lenses and processes that intentionally embrace blur, instability, and abstraction. Each image translates lived experiences of vision impairment and memory into an open visual language. Here, the body becomes both presence and absence — inviting viewers to reflect on the fragile balance between autonomy, consent, and craving.
