Bedtime Stories to Help You Sleep, 2022, Blank Space, Wilkinsburg, PA

Bedtime Stories to Help You Sleep grew out of a nightly ritual I practiced when my daughter was very young. Each night, after the bedtime routine and she had fallen asleep, I would step outside onto our porch and take one photograph of the night sky. For three months during the summer of 2020, this practice became something I looked forward to, a moment of reflection at the end of the day.

This body of work is a visual diary, marking time through repetition and ritual. Each photograph captures a moment, reminding us that there is always beauty worth noticing.
