The Mountain Was There is a quiet search for a landscape that exists somewhere between memory and desire—a place I long to return to, yet one that does not exist in reality or on any map. This imagined terrain is shaped from original pictorial sources, drawn from real landscapes I experienced in August 2024, in Yunnan, China. 

It asks:

How does one feel a sense of belonging to a place remote from one’s life? 

How can meaning be made from places that exist only in memory and feeling?

2. In Bad Faith


2024
50 cm x 60 cm each

10 Ilford Silver Gelatin Prints,

 In order to see inwards I have to look outwards, and outwards, inwards, I, I, I.


In Bad Faith explores the act of deliberately denying oneself choices and yielding to an imaginary figure that is an image of self-imposed expectations. 

To which to say, what figure can be more significant than the self? This self-imposed limitation stems from a fear of embracing the full extent of my freedom, opting instead for the illusion of constraint.
