Photographic collage / 2020

By A Thread

Made during the pandemic, this series asks where a sense of unity can be found amid fragmentation. Distinct photographs are joined through simple rectangular crops, keeping the seams visible.

08 photographs

The series moves through everyday settings: trails, suburban entrances, grocery checkouts, and people. It grew from the uncertainty of that period and a question about whether harmony is found, made, or both.
