A decade-long 35mm film series that explores memory and perception through the material conditions of photographic image-making. Using a rotating plastic camera, the images embrace distortion, fragmentation, and optical imperfection as active elements, where bending horizons and fractured highlights echo the way recollection shifts over time.
Drawing from the visual language of vernacular photography and home family films, the series repositions these familiar aesthetics within a sustained, deliberate practice. Rooted in the sensory experience of Florida, the images move away from fixed description toward a more fluid record of looking, where clarity gives way to duration, and nostalgia emerges not as sentiment, but as a condition shaped by mistiness, repetition, and change.
The photographs, of beaches, fairs, parks, the familiar pull of a lake house, arrive softened, slightly unmoored, as if remembered rather than seen. They echo the texture of treasured family films: sun-faded, imperfect, and continuous, carrying with them the quiet rhythm of growing up in the American South.
