I’ve been exploring the complex feelings I have about marriage. Is it truly for love, or an institution of obligation and outdated norms (to hide within)? Captivating or just captive? These images were photographed through handblown glass that I made myself. The glass distorts, hides, reveals, muddies the feelings I have about the idea of marriage. I seek to explore fear, flight, and strength, ultimately seeking refuge in the beauty of nature and self.
