Fog Drifting on the Precipice of Home is a series of photographs which were created as a meditative exercise, illuminating my morphing spiritual connection to Sikkim upon returning home six years after my departure as a teenager.  The project was initially conceived of as a photo essay, for which I was awarded the Steinbrecher Fellowship. I had begun to reflect on my departure from home, responding in writing to some photographs I had already made, but quickly came to realize that the two could not be married. Instead, the visual language that emerged from the exposure of celluloid took center stage in uniquely being able to convey what I was truly missing about home. The photographs became a way to elicit what I could not put into words, prioritizing emotion over understanding. Through Fog I have not found a way to reconcile my complicated feelings about memory and the places I call home, but instead to accept it.
