Photographer’s Notes:

The images are composed of many layers, both literal and figurative, not unlike the contrasting layers of emotion I have experienced upon my arrival at this place, this threshold. This images tells how I arrived here with a new identity, shaped by joy at the birth of my daughter and grief at the death of my other child.

I have used my original photography, vintage photographs of my ancestors and past family documents, as well as textures and ephemera from my past and present lives, layered with photographs meant to conjure internal and external landscapes and, ultimately a sense of hope and new beginnings.
