Wading is a photo series that captures the bookends of my parents' lives. My mother passed away suddenly in the fall of 2017, and my father in the summer of 2025.

After my father's passing, I discovered a multi-decade archive of his negatives. I sequenced these photographs to understand my parents better and construct a portrait of their lives in the absence of firsthand stories. By pairing them with my own work, I aim to showcase how a home can change both physically and emotionally, and to animate the stagnant feeling when one partner passes before the other.

This project ended as abruptly as it began, but its duration helped me process my changing perspective on home, serving as an exercise in patience and the acceptance of loss.
