INSTITUTIONAL + CIVIC INSTALLATIONS

RISD Museum — Limelight (2026)

Rhode Island Humanities — 50 Fest / Future50 Portrait Studio (2023)

Interactive portrait installation combining portraiture and public writing to collect reflections on the future of Rhode Island. Participants contributed both photographic portraits and handwritten responses, forming a layered civic archive of image and text.

COMMUNITY + PARTICIPATORY SYSTEMS

FIRE — Framing Instant Relief and Empowerment (2026–Present)

Fundraising-based portrait project supporting organizations serving embattled immigrant communities through donation-based participation and instant film portrait exchange. Each session links portrait-making directly to material support, using the image as both document and transaction.

Curiosity & Co. — Imagination Salon (2024)

Participatory portrait installation combining instant portrait systems and guided self-portraiture through collaborative studio interaction. The work shifts authorship between photographer and participant, emphasizing process, experimentation, and shared making.

EDITORIAL WORK

“On the Night Shift” (2026)

Editorial photo essay for Rhode Island Monthly documenting individuals working overnight and early-morning shifts across multiple industries and environments. The work moves across sites of labor to build a cohesive narrative of nighttime economies in Rhode Island.

OBSERVATIONAL SERIES

Visiting Hours

Environmental portrait series focused on the spaces and conditions of creative labor. The work emphasizes studios, workshops, and transitional spaces where artistic production actually occurs, prioritizing process over finished output.

A Secret Meeting of Black Men

Portrait and documentary series exploring identity, safety, and self-definition within spatial context. The work focuses on environments where Black men gather outside of external expectation, centering presence and interiority.

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL + EXHIBITION WORK

All the Worlds

Autobiographical portrait exhibition connecting identity, memory, and theatrical influence. The series draws from personal and professional relationships to construct a layered reflection on how identity is formed through encounter and performance.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Decalogues

Constraint-based instant film portrait system structured around ten prompts per subject. The project uses repetition and limitation to explore identity through micro-expression, response, and interpretation rather than fixed narrative.

Mechanicals

Documentary series focused on the labor and infrastructure behind cultural production. The work centers technicians, fabricators, and support staff whose presence enables creative and institutional environments to function.
