The Boundaries were Everywhere. I Could Not See.
I have been walking my neighborhood for 18 months. That means for a year and a half, I have been walking the same streets, the same square blocks, almost daily. Some days this can take an hour. Other days, I am walking for more than 5 hours. These walks started as a way of processing personal grief, and then the walks turned into processing our new world of grief and the virus.
The seasons passed. My world was small, but I saw more. At first, I was only looking from inside out. I then turned outward and saw more. My photography was instinctual – I didn’t plan these images as a body of work, but as I reviewed them, there were unifying emotions attached to every single photograph, easily processed and felt as I explored them.
My world had always had boundaries, I just couldn’t see.
