URBAN ESCAPES

Urban Escapes explores the urban environment through a lens attuned to the overlooked, the intimate, and the ephemeral. Each photograph focuses on the subtle details that shape the rhythm of city life: the ignored street performer, fleeting conversations, the juxtaposition of historical architecture with graffiti or modern interventions, and quiet corners imbued with unexpected beauty.

​

This series seeks to capture the energy and vitality inherent in large urban centers while reflecting on the passage of time and the evolving narratives of contemporary society. Through photography, I aim to reveal the interplay between permanence and transformation, offering a nuanced perspective on the urban landscape as a living, dynamic entity.

"I would like to express my gratitude to all the First Nation, Métis and Inuit who have been traditional and contemporary stewards of this land we call Canada.

I acknowledge that I live and create on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Kanien'Kehaka, Haudenosaunee, and Oneida Peoples, as well as the Upper Canada Treaties that bind us together. I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize their deep connection to Turtle Island and their tireless efforts in caring for and preserving this land since time immemorial.  As an artist and visitor on this land, I understand my responsibility to uplift Indigenous voices where possible, and I am committed to deepening my understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their cultures."
