The concept of home has been common thread in many of my past photography projects.
Home, family, connection, loss: over the past few years my photography practice has entered on these recurring themes. A combination of environmental portraiture, landscape and interior tableaux weave a tapestry of connection.

During the last week in June 2024, I made photographs showing evidence of abandoned places, whether truly abandoned or in the process of reclamation as is the case in the images of the Hotel Belvedere in Cerbere.
