Reclaiming Colorado (2023)
In the beginning of 2023 I experienced a traumatic event while in Colorado. I bought a film camera at a recycling center that April and I felt connected to that camera, and was excited to experiment with film again. After taking a purposeful break from my craft for almost a month, I revisited Colorado that summer with a breath of fresh air and took the new camera with me. I created a parallel of new experiences while I was there: I photographed with a new camera, I used color film for the first time, and created new experiences other than my trauma. I photographed what I saw through my eyes, and played with light and shadow to create a narrative.
