Artist’s Statement
As a documentary photographer, I am interested in constructing narratives from the everyday—whether on beaches or through the exploration of different cultures and ways of life—while adapting to and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. I believe that the simplest moments often hold the deepest stories. This sparked a new way of observing for me: I came to understand that the sea is not merely a landscape, but a space where labor, memory, childhood, and environmental change converge.
This series is the result of that process of observation and close engagement with the community. My goal is to invite the viewer to look beyond the image of the Caribbean as a tourist destination and to engage with the reality of those who live by the sea every single day.
