My work explores the mundane aspects of my surroundings. I often see the details I notice as influential on myself and deeply grounding.

Through an aesthetic documentary style, I aim to capture and share the inventory of the everyday, the feelings they evoke in me—whether joy, stillness, or just a fleeting thought.

Filling the blanks or flipping the pages of a zine, everyone is welcomed to view my photography through their own lens.
