Conceptual Art

The photos in this collection were captured over the past year and a half as part of an expressive art project called, "Pandemic." This project provided an opportunity for people to express themselves and be seen during a time when so many of us were hidden away. My goal was to initiate creative dialogue for personal transformation and healing - to turn crisis into connection. These few selected photos are just the tip of an iceberg-worth of content that emerged. I am grateful beyond words to all those who joined me on this photo journey. I bow to your bravery and willingness to share of yourself. This project gave me a glimpse of the tenacity and mutability of the human spirit and restored my faith in the boundless potential within each one of us.
