“"Photography is isolating, so I tend to try and find bodies of work that are actually an extension of how I'm living, so whether it's walking on the beach or in the ocean or swimming — it's a way of exploring what that means to me and why I'm attracted to it,"”

“"Throughout my career, the water has featured as a muse and illustrates the different connections I have with the ocean and how it may have mirrored my own psychology at a particular time,"”

“"I love that moment of immersion where someone jumps in and they bring that air into the water. It's a really visceral feeling of immersion; going into another place and another world,"”

“"I'm hoping people get the sense of awe that I have when I'm in the water. I hope they feel transformed, and inspired to love the ocean,"”
