This collection of photographs draws from images that I made in Argentina in 2019, the Salish Sea in 2021 and others, closer to home in both Montreal and Vermont. At the time I was photographing in Argentina I was working through a lot of grief and was moved by the resilience of the desert; the plants, creatures and landscapes that persist in the harshest of conditions, where water is the most precious of things.

Water is something I have been photographing for years so it was interesting to be where there is such a scarcity of this defining element of our planet. Its existence means that so may we. It functions as a metaphor for both impermanence and life itself. I’m constantly inspired by its ever-changing nature freely moving from liquid to snow, ice, mist, or cloud and by the infinite forms and textures when combined with light.
