There Is Something To Be Said About The Night is my NYU thesis project, which I started during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. “There I was, laying on the floor of my bedroom, looking up at my ceiling as the light retreated from the pools it had made on my carpet back out into the sky. Night was coming, and the day had passed by like it had yesterday and the day before and the week before that—slowly, and without consequence. I had spent most of my time in quarantine just like that—letting the days pass over me like a blanket being pulled over and off of me, again and again.”
One night, after countless monotnous days, I picked up my camera and began photographing the houses in my hometown in Florida. What started as an attempt to break the monotony became a nightly ritual—walking the same loops, finding something new each time. In the twilight, I developed film in my garage, witnessing what my camera could see that I could not. The project became one long continuous walk, extending into my neighborhood in Brooklyn, neighborhoods in New Jersey and more.
