Self Portraits: 2016 – 2026
These photographs began as a way of staying present with myself.
Made over the course of a decade, this body of self-portraits uses the camera as a mirror. Not to document who I was, but to give space for who I was becoming. Across ten years of personal transformation, the work asked me to exist as I am: unguarded, sometimes broken, sometimes still.
My body appears alone in fields, on floors, in fog and water and soil, surrounded by fire, butterflies, and rotting fruit. The images do not narrate a linear recovery. They circle. They return. Some hold stillness as refuge; others record the weight of what had to be carried.
Together they form a decade-long record of becoming. Made bold by the act of looking directly at myself, and choosing not to look away. Each one waited for the frame to match the mood. Some waited years.
