The series is about those moments in time when you feel the world around you. When everything is silent, yet you can hear the universe. Those moments could be the subtle or grand things of nature or the morbid.

The concrete design of my 80-year-old house has many mysteries to it, but the homely feeling it gives me contradicts that. My series depicts my home as if it were a dangerous and abandoned space, one that deserves to be mysterious. This portrayal creates a new setting that doesn’t exist in real life.

With this series I want to explore the discovery of lines that are so abstract or obscure that they must be deliberately sought out. In these images are rows of visible subpixels on a low-resolution 80” TV, a grid of tiny pixels on a monitor, and lines created by fast shutter when photographing under a low-frequency LED light.

I focused on the illusion of time and how easy it can be to get lost in it while doing tasks – or no tasks at all. It’s very easy to let time get away from me as I sit thinking of all the things I have to do, yet get nothing done. There never seems to be enough hours in the day, each begins to blend in to the next. I remain lost in time, and it can be hard to snap out of once I get immersed; time is constantly moving, and it will continue even once I’m not.

This is a series about portraiture. I decided to choose my two little sisters as my models because I knew I’d be able to capture intimate moments I wouldn’t have been able to if I was photographing someone else. I chose to photograph moments that only I’d be able to see, therefore using my position as their older sister to my advantage. The photos give a deeper look into their emotions, state of being, and simple joys. At times they were not even aware I was there with my camera, which gave me the privilege of capturing pure, raw, unedited moments.

These photos are portraits of sorts. they depict people by documenting the imprints that they leave on the world, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Each photo is meant to depict an event or a habit or a time in someone’s life, not by capturing the event itself but by what’s left behind afterward and make the viewer question what the story behind it is.

This series of images is from my final film project working in the theme of Small Town Architecture. All taken in Evansville, Wisconsin, these images show the wide variety of architectural styles ranging from historical buildings to the cookie cutter new developments.

My central concept for this piece focuses on remembering the past as well as the fear of growing up, but it also ventures into the idea of “dimension hopping” and wishing I was in “a screen world” away from all of my outside worries and responsibilities. Whenever I’m feeling down, homesick, or stressed, watching old Disney movies or animations from my childhood is my go-to comfort activity because I feel like I can just let go and get lost in another place, especially when those movies contain such familiar, uplifting worlds and characters that not only remind me of the easy past but never fail to inspire me or make me happy. Then, once they’re over, I’m left still thinking about them, longing for and missing a simpler time, while also pondering how much easier life would be if I lived in one of my favorite childhood movies.

The space featured in the video is my grandfather’s old apartment. I often go there to play the record player and the piano that my grandfather used to play. His house reminds me of warm childhood memories and the things he taught me in my childhood. It seems strange that that warm and safe space, is now cold, yet full of memories.

This piece was inspired by the need to conserve our natural spaces, particularly beachfronts that include dunes. Dunes are a vibrant habitat for multiple species such as the ones depicted in the video and the health of the dunes directly correlates with the health of our oceans and eventually our own health. Our natural spaces will care for us like a mother, hence the concept of Mother Nature, but only if we care for her back.

The initial idea for my project was to capture a shortened snippet of my experience when I get to go back home. I wanted to capture just some of the comforting bits of my hometown that make me think of my childhood and just the places I love to see in general. I really wanted to capture the feeling of the space that I consider “home”. The end of the video with the spinning footage is meant to capture a feeling of being overwhelmed at how quickly my time at home goes by and how abruptly I find myself back at school in the craziness of all the assignments and work I have to do.

These two photos of my roommate, Gwyn, showcase the delicate and ultimately calming side of her personality that can only be seen when captured in a single moment. She is usually constantly moving, talking, or doing both at the same time. However, in this exact moment, she is completely still and in her natural state.

These photos taken within the past semester focus on the idea of movement and motivated energy in downtown Madison. I came across the first individual trying to learn how to snowboard down a small hill outside the memorial union, and politely asked him to pose for a photo. The second individual was a friend of mine who I managed to snap a picture of as he crossed the street. I wanted to amplify the constant sense of chaos and motion that can be found when walking down the streets of the city. Everyone is moving with a purpose, and there is never a still moment.

The Yerkes Observatory, considered the Holy Grail of astronomy, is being rescued from the ravages of time and the wrecking ball by a small but determined group. These images show a living, breathing space where so much more of the cosmos is yet to be studied.
