Alstroemerias: Studies in Quiet Structure

The 5th image in the series, The Eye in Motion, is now online. This series of photographs explores alstroemerias as structures, quiet arrangements of line, repetition, and restraint. Paired with short personal reflections, each image becomes a study in attention: how form reveals itself slowly, how space shapes perception, and how meaning emerges through sustained looking rather than explanation.
The Trees Knew How Small I Was

A reflection on the strange comfort of feeling small beneath an immense landscape. Inspired by a 2008 photograph from Carmel Valley, the story transforms two solitary trees into quiet sentinels beneath a mysterious, star-filled sky. The image becomes a meditation on scale, solitude, memory, and our place within a universe too vast to fully understand.
An Unspoken Tenderness

A white flower becomes a quiet symbol of peace, while two hands suggest friendship, love, acceptance, and compassion. Rather than depicting peace through familiar symbols, I reflect on the small human gestures through which peace might actually begin: making room for difference, choosing understanding over suspicion, and reaching toward one another with kindness. At a time when the world feels increasingly divided, the work is a reminder that peace can begin with something as simple as two holding hands.
Stars, Silence, and Summer Light

A reflective Memorial Day essay inspired by a cinematic photograph of a solitary figure in patriotic attire seated in a vintage automobile. Blending humor, nostalgia, and quiet reverence, the piece explores memory, sacrifice, chosen identity, and the idea of America as an unfinished journey rather than a fixed destination.
