Reflections on Belonging

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Bleach Experiments

At OCAD University, I took a course called Experimental Processes: Photography, in which I created this series of bleached prints. This series explores how specific elements of photographs change meaning when their surroundings are altered.

Homes

When you remember somewhere you live, what do you think of? This three part series of collages portray a mind-map of what I remember and imagine when reflecting on my past and current homes in France, Senegal, and Canada. Combining personal images, text, and drawings, I form complex and nostalgic pieces.

Days of Creation

This series of toned cyanotype prints illustrate the six days of Creation as described in Genesis 2. Using historical alternative photographic processes including natural toners (such as coffee, tea, and wine), the prints have a range of toning effects.

Living Africa

Collection of images from the years I’ve lived in Senegal, West Africa and trips to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

In 2013, my family moved to Dakar, Senegal. My experiences in Africa over the next 3.5 years have greatly influenced how I see the world.

Family History

In 2017, my grandparents sold their farmhouse property. As my grandparents moved to the city, I created Family History as a gift to honour their old home. Going through decades of family photos, scanning film, and working with the images in fabric and thread deepened my understanding of my Canadian roots.
