They Remain

STATMENT
2020-2023

They Remain gathers constructed photographs rooted in New Orleans history, folklore, and inherited memory.

Rather than treating the past as finished, the work imagines it as a pressure still moving through bodies, buildings, landscape, and belief.

An old, weathered house with boarded-up windows, surrounded by overgrown vegetation, under a dark, cloudy sky at night.

The Casket Girls No. 2

Abstract image with green and yellow hues, dark lattice pattern, and light streaks, resembling a colorful, energetic scene or digital art.

For Lucy
