Water Territories engages with ephemerality through an intimate collaboration with water—a medium in constant motion and transformation. Born from daily walking meditations along the Rondout Creek, on the ancestral territories of the Lenape people, the work is both a meditation and a recognition of the land's original stewards. It captures fleeting reflections, shifting tides, transient gestures of light, and the subtle changes in water brought on by temperature and season—moments that vanish as quickly as they appear. Water becomes both vessel and mirror, revealing fragments of human consciousness—memories, emotions, and ancestral presence—that rise to the surface and dissolve. Through abstract imagery, the project embraces the impermanence of form and thought, inviting viewers to witness the beauty of what cannot be held. Each image is a meditation on change, a visual echo of how landscape, identity, and presence are continuously reshaped by time, rhythm, and encounter.
