Documentary, San Francisco (2022) - a collection in progress.

This series is heavily influenced by feelings of nostalgia. These works bring to mind experiences I want to remember when life weighs heavily: balmy summer afternoons spent people watching in the shade, evenings gazing at the Bridge with the lights twinkling in the fog, and the feeling of discovery as I explore a culture I’m not familiar with. Reminiscing as I stare back at these scenes leaves me with a feeling of calm as I relive these moments that make life feel whole.

I’ve documented my time spent in San Francisco through film-like photography and use these images as references for the paintings themselves. The work is a harmonious coalescence of history, nostalgia, and modern day life.
