“Early in the pandemic, the gift of time spent along Seattle’s shores rekindled my personal relationship with the waters that sustain and connect us all. A daily practice of observation and gratitude shifted into a lens of curiosity, rapture and reverence. Shot on 35mm, the work explores the intimacy of our relationship to water through expressive environmental portraiture.”
