I am a photographic artist and filmmaker with impaired vision. My work explores the connection between degraded eyesight, memory, truth, and personal history.

The Invisible Force of Time and Grief, Day 202 by Doug Winter Image: At first glance, the image suggests calm and stillness, but beneath the surface is an invisible force pressing forward—time, grief, and memory all converging. What feels solid begins to blur, dissolve, and shift. This work explores how grief is not only emotional but also physical—an unseen weight that moves through the body and alters perception. Time does not soften grief so much as reshape it, like water eroding stone. The image becomes both a record and a metaphor: a reminder that what we carry is never fully visible, yet it continues to shape us. Additional views and installation photos available upon request.
