Analog

Photo Collage

These are handmade collages made from original photographs from my life and travels. Each piece is constructed from one or more photos taken around the same place and time—fragments of a single moment or location, rearranged into something new.

Working with analog methods and digital sources, these collages bridge two worlds: photographs captured with a digital camera, then printed, cut by hand, and carefully assembled before being scanned back into digital form. The entire process happened in an Airstream in the woods, where each piece came together through intuition and play.

The results are visual puzzles that fracture and reconstruct memory, turning familiar scenes into compositions and landscapes that feel both recognizable and entirely transformed.

The Process

Once I get moving, it's hard to stop. There's so much to see—I could spend an eternity photographing and admiring each of these places. But one photo never truly captures the essence and experience of exploring somewhere new. The motion of it. The feeling of awe. How surreal these natural beauties actually are.

That's where these collages come in. By breaking apart and reassembling images from the same place and time, I'm trying to capture something closer to how it actually felt to be there—the way your eyes dart around, taking in multiple perspectives at once, the sense of being overwhelmed by beauty, the dreamlike quality of discovering something extraordinary.

Each piece uses fragments of the same moment, layered and multiplied until the composition feels as restless and alive as the experience itself. It's memory in motion, fractured but whole, trying to hold onto something that won't stay still.
