a portal
a grimoire
an open window

detail images from “gateway to a softer place”-
the culmination of my work from my residency at and

Gateway to a Softer Place
2025
bookbinding, silver gelatin prints, polymer photogravure

this is a portal
a grimoire
an open window

away from burning hate, decimation, and chaos
towards evening lit softness, the warmth of candles lighting the way, and blooming blossoms
into protection, liberation, and unquestionable love
tools for rest, grounding, and a way forward
vessels of ongoing energy, each image an everlasting spell

so mote it be

Calling in collective safety, protection, and community joy for all the protestors today✨
