I visited Bali – Indonesia in 2011. While there I was honoured to document Mr A.A. Mangkling’s Ngaben cremation ceremony. An event to celebrate his life. As I sorted through the many photographs from the three-day event, I was struck by the many lovely posed family portraits. Subsequently, I decided to separate and curate the cremation family portraits to complement the Ngaben Cremation story.

I explore and document urban and natural environments, often focusing on reflections, shadows, and patterns. My camera walks allow me to capture found objects and scenes that tell stories through everyday details. In my journal, I share these explorations and offer a glimpse into my process.
