My work serves as a love letter. Through the practice of making labour intensive cyanotypes, I untangle the complicated nature of love, obsessing over the countless, interwoven moments that collectively give shape to the feeling. Photographs, then cyanotypes, are physical records of these moments, collective and complex, mirroring the multifaceted nature of love- the tender, the messy, and the imperfect. The process of printing repeatedly, with each iteration revealing something unique, mirrors the true highs and lows of what it means to love and be loved—each moment distinct, yet bound together to make sense of something as rare and fleeting as love itself.
