STORIES ARE ALL THAT WE ARE. They shape the ways we relate to, understand, and engage with crisis, land, ecology, and our relations with each other. 

How might the stories we have heard and retell hinder our ability to enact a collective liberation, move through crisis, and move towards an eldership that is reflective and centered on responsibility to our more-than-human relations, including our descendents-to-come?

How can re-storying our relationship to land, its entangled histories and present, and to our dependencies on the violence inflicted upon it allow us to move through climate crisisand closer to reconciliation and relationality? How can we facilitate a return to Land that centers #Landback, Indigenous sovereignty, and challenges settler-colonial imaginaries of land?

Through photography, these are the questions I ask.

I am a 23 year old climate justice photographer documenting protest, land, food, and community. My work focuses on imagining and creating futures centered on relationality, respect for and healthy relationship with the land, and truth telling of our collective entangled histories. I have developed and maintained healthy relationships with food sovereigntyprojects in British Columbia, youth climate activists, and conservation projects that work to protect nature and sustain community.
 
I use these contexts to explore settler responsibility living on stolen land and its importance in ethically moving through the climate crisis. My interests are also in using visual forms to help imagine a growth into eldership that is self-reflective, cares for all of our relations, and that will provide valuable perspective for future generations who will inherit a paradoxical world with uncertain futures.
