HOW TO MAKE A GHOST

How to Make a Ghost began as an attempt to photograph what resists being seen. It has since evolved into an exploration of perception—an inquiry into how presence emerges not through clarity, but through instability.

These images do not document spirits; they construct the conditions under which a 'ghost' might be felt. Through distance that obscures, motion that disrupts recognition, and moments where the image fails to fully resolve, the work operates at the threshold of the seen and the sensed.

Within that failure of resolution, something begins to surface. The viewer becomes complicit in the work—forced to complete the image, or left to question if anything was ever there at all.

On display now at Bywater Gallery in New Orleans, LA from May 1-31. Opening reception is May 9 from 6-9PM.
