Moongrams (2025 - ongoing):

​

The beach at night has become my outdoor darkroom with the ongoing Moongrams project, a series of unique photogram prints. The process involves dipping silver gelatin paper into the ocean and sand at night, exposing each print with the moon's illumination. I have been working at Brighton Beach during each full moon since August 2025 — collaborating with the sea while I press my hands and feet onto the paper to make an image through touch and the body. I’m inspired by how these images are made in the dark and with my body, both outside as well as when I process them with chemistry in the darkroom.
