Tell Us of the World examines the eroding connections of humans with nature and what is irrevocable in this loss. Through a novel camera-less technique, I am documenting plant fluorescence to reveal the otherwise invisible luminous bodies of plants directly onto silver halide emulsions. Central to this project is the interdisciplinary connection with photo-scientific inquiry; the emergence of photography relied equally on communication within scientific communities and on experimentation in the metaphysical, to explore the permanence of the world and the language of the lens. In the midst of fallow curiosity, reigniting this relationship confirms our nature as guided by light.

In 2026, this work was exhibited in two concurrent exhibitions in Atlanta, GA; Tell Us of the World at Emory University’s Visual Art Gallery as a research-based exhibition in which the gallery was transformed in a labratory including large-scale sculptural cameras creating durational in-gallery chlorophyll prints onto lab-grown plants, that evoke a sense of reciprocity and conversation with light. Illuminated entirely with grow lights, the exhibition explored the intersection of science and art. The second exhibition, Tell the World of Us, at Whitespace Gallery Shedspace, allowed an interaction between natural sunlight and cycles of time. The Ecospace images where printed on large scale transparent material, hung against the Shedspace windows, allowing a play with light and the surrounding garden by day and created a luminous body, similar to the exploration of my fluorescence documentation, by night.
