From the hum of sound machines on nightstands to the endless scrolling of social media, few moments in modern life are met with quiet. Stories In Space seeks to capture the stillness and peace of a spacious, quiet moment. Through the use of negative space, the removal of distractions, and the practice of patient observation, viewers are invited to embrace stillness. The ultimate goal being to inspire us to seek, cherish, and find meaning in the quiet moments of our lives.
From the artist::
”I am a photographer dedicated to documenting the quiet beauty and nuanced stories of the world around me. With eight years of experience, my work reflects a commitment to decentering myself, allowing the stories of scenes, individuals, and moments to emerge authentically. Driven by a deep respect for human connection, I excel at building trust and fostering ease with those I document, creating imagery that resonates with empathy and truth. As a patient observer, I approach each project with openness and curiosity, capturing unguarded moments of genuine connection.
The current photography project remains unnamed. It focuses on the blue-collar individual—the craftsman—those whose work requires manual labor and who prioritize the mastery of their craft above all else. Taking a documentary approach, I follow and observe these individuals as they work. Often, they share what they’ve learned, how they began, and who they’ve become because of their work. Along the way, I’m fortunate to witness something few get to see: the craftsman’s labor is not only a connection to generations of honed skill, but also essential to the strength and success of our communities. “
The exhibition runs from August 1-30. An opening reception will be held from 6-8pm on August 1.
