Treasure Coast is a photobook of color and black-and-white analog images inspired by my relationship to the familiar landscapes of my upbringing. Cities don't feel like home, and I'm left longing for someplace else. This distance drives my current feelings of uncertainty and displacement. Drawing on Rebecca Solnit's A Field Guide to Getting Lost and my ever-growing sailing community, I harness this powerful need to discover faraway destinations. Treasure Coast serves as a love letter to the places I have escaped from, and the journey of making my way back to them.

Every image in the book was shot on film, mostly across return trips to the Florida coast and my sailing community, where I could work directly with the storm systems I grew up watching form over the water. I used doorways and windows as a structural device throughout; the book opens on a threshold image, setting up a sense of partial access that carries through the sequence. Cyan became a deliberate color anchor in a handful of frames: a repeating stand-in for water and sky that reads as artificial, set against the black-and-white documentary images shot on location.
