Death, beauty, and reflection are recurring themes that I explore in my photographs, drawing inspiration from my own journey of self-discovery and healing. In my photo series, Not Forgotten: An Arkansas Family Album, I documented my family, delving into both the struggles of loss and the beauty of love. Through this process, I developed a deeper understanding of my own lineage and forged stronger bonds with my loved ones. The process of making this body of work slowed me down in a fast-paced world to reflect upon my journey as a photographer, and my visual approach to the cycles of life and death.
