SONNET, Photography Book
A visual documentation of youth culture in (mainly) New York City and the vivid energy of our time that come together in a photography book. This collection reflects my desire to shape a personal understanding of the world around me, guided by feelings of SONDER, the realization that everyone is living a life as complicated as your own, with their own struggles, routines, dreams, and aspirations.

All images photographed, edited, curated, and printed by me.

8.5 in. x 11 in. x 1.35 in. (WxLxH)
Printed on 100lb Satin & 100lb Soft-Lamination




Accompanying piece from Design Exhibit.
Mixed-media photography gallery installation—Approx. 15ft. x 15ft. x 8 ft. (gallery wall dimensions)
