With my current body of work, Interstices, I delve into my decade-long experience living with Parkinson’s (PD), a neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure. I have been learning to live with the constant awareness and monitoring of declining motor skills and balance, and the attendant non-motor symptoms of fear, anxiety, and disorientation.

Interstices is my second series focused on my journey with PD. Now, after ten years, I observe the convergent and overlapping forces of both the illness and aging. My photography enables me to recognize in the environment a mirroring of my own struggles to stay positive, to decipher symptom progression, and to withstand the ups and downs as I connect with the light and dark.

Recent studies have shown that creating and beholding art can positively impact brain health. I lean into this possibility. I photograph discoveries and constructions inspired by the oscillations of my psychological, physical, and spiritual perspectives to build resilience against the new obstacles I face.

With Interstices, I navigate the challenge of looking into the space between now and the time when I will be less capable. This visual inquiry motivates me, gives me strength, and instills positivity as I navigate the uncertainty ahead.
