Impermanence
Impermanence is my love for the fleeting, abundant beauty of existence. I wish it could last forever.
Aldous Huxley wrote about cleansing the doors of perception—how everything reveals its infinite nature when we truly see. Photography is my practice of that seeing: light vanishing in seconds but opening a door into something infinite.
Every photograph in this series was made in Barbados. This is the light I grew up with. Some of these photos are from 2011, some from 2020—over a decade of the same practice of seeing, the same wonder that never fades.
I am in relationship with the cosmos. It feels like: look at what we created together—right place, right time—the universe offering light, me offering my presence, and the photographs born from our attention to each other.
When I return to these photos, I feel that same awe—time slowing, being held by beauty. Even though I know everything will fade—the sunsets, the photographs themselves—photography lets these moments linger a little longer.
This is my way of staying in conversation with the universe. Of holding the awe I've carried since birth and letting it grow deeper with every photo, every moment of wonder I notice, savor, and fall in love with all over again.
Photography allows me to feel the eternal inside the fleeting, to honor the beauty of being alive.
The moments are impermanent. The awe is eternal.
