Learning through conservation practice and direct encounter
When a stranded loggerhead turtle named Dwight required advanced medical imaging, conservation teams turned to an unexpected classroom: a human hospital. This project documents how hands-on care, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and close proximity to wildlife create powerful opportunities for learning—about biology, responsibility, and what it takes to help endangered species recover. The work centers conservation not as abstraction, but as something practiced, witnessed and shared.
“No one is a perfect environmentalist. Do what you can.”

Understanding place through slow travel and immersion

Understanding place through slow travel and immersion
Traveling by land through Alaska slows perception and stretches time, allowing landscapes, wildlife, and human presence to reveal themselves naturally. Moving between glaciers, forests, and coastal systems, this project explores how sustained immersion—not speed or spectacle—shapes understanding of place. The work unfolds as a visual essay, where photographs and extended captions work together to mirror the rhythms of the journey itself.
“Time here is marked not by the clock, but by the changing of the seasons.”

Scientific wonder through observation and curiosity

Scientific wonder through observation and curiosity
In truly dark skies, the night becomes so dense with stars that familiar constellations begin to disappear. Imagine. This project explores how extended observation—away from light pollution and distraction—reshapes perception, patience, and understanding of the cosmos. Created during a multi-night astrophotography workshop, the work reflects learning through experience rather than concept.
“This project is learning is at the level of perception itself.”
