I am constantly thinking deeply about my personal relationship to clothing within the human experience, the representation of clothing through the camera, and how photography, at its core, solidifies ephemeral experiences.

Second hand garments, coated in cyanotype chemistry and exposed to sunlight during an embrace, act as the canvas to receive what is inherently fleeting: the impermanent nature of relationships. The photographs, made organically through each relationship, are an additional personal diary which not only give further context, but aid me to remember; to help me understand why I am so drawn to archiving these moments, as the complexity of my emotions are constantly changing. Through these traditional and alternative uses of the photographic medium, all works are small vignettes of their everlasting imprint on my psyche.
