It all started with a class I took during my sophomore year of college. We were instructed to select a random book from the shelf and create a photo book based on a paragraph of our choice using our 35mm film cameras. That project sparked a love for film and poetry. That assignment didn't just teach me technique; it gave me a new way to experience the world. It was the beginning of an ongoing conversation between poetry and film, one that continues to shape how I create and connect.
