DESCRIPTION: 
“These images are documents of where my eyes go and dream. I think that I am looking for my reflection in the structures and landscapes. The relationships between the folks I meet with the camera feel familiar to me. My eyes want to sit there and dream a while with them. I started walking in a spiral out from my house into the neighborhood with a camera and asked myself questions. What will this look like in 5 years? What will I look like in 5 years? Should I makea picture? How should I make this picture? Where should I place my body in relation to this moment? How do I show what matters, how it feels? Sometimes I wouldprompt my neighbors with a question before making a picture with them. Mostly future facing questions, sometimes questions about love received and held close."
