Dreams, Noise, and Silence
Some nights the mirror feels like an enemy. My face looks wrong. My hair won’t listen. My body doesn’t belong to me. And the weight of it all folds into the same conclusion I hate myself.

A Picture a Day & the Illusion of Connection
At the start of the year, I had this idea: post a picture a day for 365 days. Simple, right? A way to push my creativity, refine my editing, and maybe even build a little community around the process. What I didn’t expect was how quickly it would change the way I saw both photography … Continue reading A Picture a Day & the Illusion of Connection
