excerpts from my collections of art-photos accumulated over years of adventure and travel

Monumentalisms I: Surfaces
(2017)
Explorations on scale through the framing of the camera lens, with emphasis on texture and tectonics: a world of colour-fields composed into fractal-like patterns, geographically-agnostic.
Monumentalisms V: Bodies
(2019–2020)
Explorations on scale through the sightlines of an observer, spotting coincidences of human figures as compositional elements.
Autrefois
(2019)
My exchange semester to Denmark included some forty non-consecutive days of travel, backpacking around fourteen countries in Europe. Here are some highlights from the 8000 or so photos I took along the way.
Monumentalisms III: Remnants
(2017–2019)
Human-built anthropomorphisms and other remnants-of-presence, enduring through time.
Trees under Streetlamps
(2017–2018)
Monumentalisms IV: Complexes
(2018, 2020)
The most fascinating thing in Toronto: hovering above the water on stilts, an inexplicable contraption of neurotic metal and glass. (Also in this collection are wheelchair-pedestrian overpasses.)
Monumentalisms II: Sunsets
(2017–2021)
“who are you,little i / (five or six years old) / peering from some high / window;at the gold / of november sunset / (and feeling:that if day / has to become night / this is a beautiful way)”
—e.e. cummings
These photo collections were assembled through a process of pattern-finding—a way of “connecting the dots” about my identity and making coherence out of it. Each collection is a distinct “train of thought.” The coherence of its pattern gives it an innate value because I can communicate it to myself and to other people.
