Rowhome

Guided by feelings of intimacy and in-between moments, this body of work explores my connections to Baltimore and the community that surrounds me. When I was twelve, my parents and I would arrive to Maryland from New York City due to a job change of my mother, who would pass away just a year later. This shaky and melancholic introduction brought forth questions of place, belonging, and specifically why I continued to remain here into my adulthood. While those questions will probably never get proper answers, my work seeks to be a response to those feelings, with images of enigmatic landscapes, young people on the cusp of some unknown future, and objects that bear undetermined significance.

Freddie

On April 19, 2015, a young Baltimore resident by the name of Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained in police custody a week prior. The death, which was certainly nothing new with the Baltimore Police Department, sparked outrage and sadness in the community of Sandtown-Winchester, where Freddie lived. These photos depict the response and reactions from citizens over the following two weeks.

The Queens of Baltimore

Spanning the last few years, The Queens of Baltimore focuses on the long tradition of drag in Baltimore. The project originally stemmed from my desire to learn and understand more about the history, the committment, and the culture of those that perform.
