Two Sleeps Away (2020)

Two Sleeps Away is a collection of images that discuss observing, imagining and approaching death. The work explores the time that bookends death--living alongside our own mortality, and the eternal aftermath for those living and deceased. Death is not simply the moment in which life is extinguished; rather a catalyst for change, a portal to new worlds, and a reminder that we are currently living.

Two Sleeps Away is a forum for the audience to consider their relationship to mortality.
