      <image:caption>An heirloom tomato sits atop a 1950s vintage toy car, passing a green truck with an empty bed. The scene plays with the idea of feast or famine, glass half-full or half-empty depending on the viewer’s perspective. The idea that the American Dream is not constant, but a fluctuation of perception.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is the spot I found you lying on the sun-soaked wood floor, flanked by the shadows from the curtains. Eyes squinting, fur hot. I lie in the same spot with the same sun soaking the same wood floor. But my eyes are wet because my fur is gone, and the wood feels cold without you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Reaching</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reaching captures the fleeting space between connection and separation—a suspended gesture that exists both in longing and in release. This double exposure explores the intangible nature of touch—reaching for someone or something that is no longer physically there.  The blurred motion of the hands suggests both the act of reaching and the impossibility of arrival. One hand clearly formed, yet out of focus, reaching from darkness toward the other which is dissolving. It is symbolic of the shifting boundaries between self and other, past and present, physical and metaphysical. In this in-between space, the photograph holds a tension: desire and surrender, clarity and fading. This piece is part of a broader inquiry into transformation through loss. It reflects the emotional echoes that linger when someone or something slips from grasp—not with a sudden break, but with a gradual blur. In that liminal space, there is also emergence: a new way of sensing, seeing, becoming. Reaching is a quiet portrait of presence in absence, of the beauty found not in resolution, but in the act of reaching itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Held By Ghosts</image:title>
      <image:caption>This image is about the invisible weight of grief—how it creeps up when you least expect it, triggered by the faintest of details. Haunted by the final days, moments, breaths that keep replaying in my mind. The whiplash from emotions changing in a second, yet feeling them all at the same time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Phantom Limb 1</image:title>
      <image:caption>Phantom Limb explores the haunting persistence of absence—the way loss imprints itself on the body, long after what was once there is gone. Through blurred motion and intimate form, this image captures the rawness of longing for something something that can no longer be touched, yet is still profoundly felt. It is about grief that lingers in the skin, the ache of unhealed wounds, and the invisible traces that transformation leaves behind.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - In the Act of Letting Go</image:title>
      <image:caption>This portrait captures a moment of transition—an intimate shedding of past selves. The subject, mid-motion, is caught between concealment and revelation, mirroring the internal unraveling we often face when releasing what no longer serves us. The image is not about arriving, but about the courage it takes to unlayer. The gesture of lifting fabric becomes a quiet act of rebellion, of reclaiming softness as strength. There is no finality here—only the beauty of process, the honesty of in-between. In the Act of Letting Go reflects the vulnerability of transformation and the quiet power in choosing to unbecome.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Self-Portrait of Pause, Mid-Metamorphosis</image:title>
      <image:caption>I've been on a path of divine (re)alignment. The numbers 111 and 1111 keep reminding me that my angels are guiding me on this path. My cat died, my mom got cancer again, and I'm turning 40 this year. Change can be scary, but it's dependable. I mean, you can always count on it to be constant. Sometimes it feels like I'm being forced into a spiritual awakening, but I'm letting it take me. Heart heavy, but open. Trusting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Where Did You Go?</image:title>
      <image:caption>My cat recently passed away and she gave me the gift of witnessing her journey out of this world and into whatever comes next. After her death, I still feel her and see her in all her spots in and around the house, through my mind’s eye. Through mental images and feelings of how she smelled, how it felt to kiss her, the sound of her footsteps on the wood floor. Images and feelings that will inevitably fade and blur over time. This image is my translation of what that feels like. To be here, in this waking life one minute, and somewhere else the next. It doesn’t feel like there’s a physical barrier between here and there. It feels connected through something much deeper. Something that exists in the past, present, and future. But I also can’t help but wonder, where did she go?</image:caption>

      <image:title>What Remains, What Rises - Light at the End of the Tunnel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Light at the End of the Tunnel is a portrait of optimism. It’s about releasing the fear of what may be happening outside your bubble—letting go of what you can’t control. It’s about the catharsis that comes when you release the darkness holding you back, and let the lightness take you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Alternate Reality - Me, Myself &amp; Eye</image:title>
      <image:caption>Me, Myself &amp; Eye explores the fluid boundary between perception and identity in an alternate reality. Using distortion, reflection, and surreal visual layering, the image confronts the viewer with fragmented versions of the self—what is seen, what is reflected, and what is imagined. The magnifying lens becomes a portal, warping the eye into an otherworldly gaze, suggesting that reality is not fixed, but constantly refracted through layers of consciousness. This piece invites contemplation of how we construct and reconstruct the self in a world where nothing is ever quite as it seems. Me, Myself &amp; Eye was published in Shots Magazine Winter No. 158: Open Theme, and received a Silver award in the reFocus 2024 Black &amp; White Photo Contest, Conceptual category.</image:caption>
