• Artist Statement

  The beach is where I first learned how to use my camera and slowly stepped out of my comfort zone. The shifting weather, open space, and mix of people gave me room to experiment. At first, I was nervous photographing strangers, but the beach was a place where no one stood out too much, and that freedom helped me grow. Over the past four years, I’ve taken hundreds of photos at the beach, many of which helped shape me into a stronger photographer, but have not been used. This piece brings those moments together. Each bubble holds a small memory, not just mine, but the stories of the people who filled the beach on those days. My goal with this artwork was to turn overlooked photographs into something that celebrates and honors the everyday moments that often pass unnoticed but still shape us to be who we are.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity to me is a way to explore and share your perspective. To see your vision come to life and that feeling of passion you get through it all.
