From 2020 - 2023, within the confines of my bedroom and with the same camera and lens, I shot the Los Angeles sky. These photographs parallel my experience over the years struggling with the worst my mental health had been while navigating my daily life with the façade that I was not struggling.
One of my main inspirations is music, where I have always found both comfort and a desire to express the nebulous emotions it unearths - the transient nature of emotion and the idealization of daydreams being two of the driving forces behind my work.
Presented in the order they were shot, ironically, the images in this typology are rooted in reality. The colors and compositions are minimally retouched, as I did not intend for the images to look artificially saturated, but instead to appear as close as possible to how I experienced them in real life.
