The Message

Taken from Santa Monica Pier, 2017.

One person stand defiantly holds a piece of paper up to the sun as it sets. They stand unmoving as the sea changes around them. At a moment of chaos in my own personal life, they were the opposite - calm, purposeful, powerful and real.  I took this series through tears.

I'll never know what was on that paper, but I’ve always imagined a letter or a photo of someone who has died.
