    8x10 wet plate collodion ambrotypes on black glass

This series chronicles a soul's yearning beyond earthly veils, weaving repression into transcendent communion. Beginning in corseted confinement, the subject awakens through veiled introspection, invokes the unseen with outstretched hands, and culminates in ethereal release amid nature's blur. Captured as wet plate ambrotypes on black glass, chemical imperfections mirror the fragility of human bounds, enhancing the narrative of vulnerability and spiritual harmony. Reaching for what is felt, not seen.
