"Oligarchy & Persimmons" is a sentiment of stillness. The book is composed of chronologically ordered images captured during my study abroad when I visited Canada's East Coast for the first time. I used a Canon IXUS to document & later cropped the originals to create a new composition. 12 copies were printed as a pocket book (4.25" x 8.75")

Together it represents a cycle of relocation & adjustment in a past, present, future home all at once. Colour, form, & texture are focal elements in lieu of the original subjects, lingering on the details that comprise of place.

Home cannot be limited to a tangent space alone, as it embellishes all corners of life. In purest form, it is hopeful, safe, grounding, vulnerable--it can be found or gifted whenever it is felt. 2023.
