The Last Sinn

The Last Sinn is an ongoing series focusing on how society interacts with the idea of life and how people interpret it in different ways. Born from the experience of losing my mother to breast cancer when I was thirteen, I have always had a hyper-aware experience with finiteness of life. The photographs, which are of a poetic relationship to mortality, dealing with loss, legacy, and finding beauty in life, represent my own inner thoughts, experiences, and outlooks on my past, present, and future.

Freddie

On April 19, 2015, a young Baltimore resident by the name of Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained in police custody a week prior. The death, which was certainly nothing new with the Baltimore Police Department, sparked outrage and sadness in the community of Sandtown-Winchester, where Freddie lived. These photos depict the response and reactions from citizens over the following two weeks.

The Queens of Baltimore

Spanning the last few years, The Queens of Baltimore focuses on the long tradition of drag in Baltimore. The project originally stemmed from my desire to learn and understand more about the history, the committment, and the culture of those that perform.
