Begun during the isolation of the COVID pandemic, this ongoing photographic project traces the receding shoreline of the Great Salt Lake as both witness and elegy. Walking the lake’s edge became a ritual of observation, revealing an increasingly fragile landscape marked by exposed lakebed, crystalline salt formations, remnants of life, and the evidence of a rapidly disappearing inland sea.

The work asks what connects the health of a body to the health of the land that sustains it, suggesting that neither can be understood in isolation. These photographs are both documentary and meditation—a call to recognize the Great Salt Lake not as an abstract environmental crisis, but as a living ecosystem whose fate is inseparable from our own.

Souls’ Journey No. 1 was presented as part of the Shelter exhibition and panel discussion inside ARK D-0, Tito’s Cold War-era bunker carved deep within a mountain in Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina—a place shaped by histories of conflict, survival, and the enduring possibility of renewal. Organized in partnership with the City of Konjic, the Cultural Olympiad of Sarajevo, and the International Peace Center, the exhibition explored the universal human need for refuge while calling attention to the responsibility to protect vulnerable populations around the world.

Selected to represent the Artnauts, Souls’ Journey No. 1 reflects on shelter not only as a physical space, but as an act of compassion, remembrance, and our shared commitment to preserving human dignity in times of crisis.

This work was inspired by Rwandan Peace baskets—hand woven by women and used as beautiful containers for gifts.

“Mending Tending Weaving” speaks to our shared humanity across the planet—a universal journey of healing, nurturing and interconnectedness as we each strive to make our lives whole.

The feeling of a space where you cannot find your bearings—perspective changing depending on which side of an obstacle you stand.

The Walls Between Us is a series of five panels combining encaustic wax and rust prints that draws inspiration from Robert Frost’s poem Mending Wall and humanity’s enduring impulse to divide. From the earliest fortified walls built thousands of years ago to the barriers that continue to define borders, beliefs, and identities today, walls have been constructed to keep the “unwanted” out or to confine what lies within.

Layered with the textures of rust—evidence of time, decay, and transformation—the work questions whether these divisions ultimately protect us or diminish our shared humanity. The Walls Between Us invites viewers to imagine a different future, one in which curiosity replaces fear and the richness of diverse cultures is embraced rather than separated by the barriers we continue to build.

Two hundred faces honouring the men killed during the Siege of Sarajevo—a work that will be featured in an upcoming film.
