Created with 120 and 35mm film, this body of work tells the story of a Midwest summer day. Alternating between scenes of sun soaked environment and carefully crafted tableaux of a couple and two sisters, the photographs reveal a softness and intimacy that only seems possible on a long, hot afternoon in a Midwestern landscape.

Exploring themes of personhood, autonomy, relationships, and mortality, Into Your Own Hands reflects a retreat into nature and presence as a story of environment and love unfolds. As viewers we are trusted to be curious and step inside the frame as a witness to these quiet, suspended, and special moments.
