: A figure takes a selfie before Niagara Falls, while various others blur in and out of frame. Behind them, the world is fuzzy with spray.

Mixed media collage with gelatin silver prints, ink and pigment, against a background of vertically aligned strips of tape. Loosely grouped elements in the largely black and white collage include photos of figures, fixed using blue and red tape, as well as a paperclip—the largest of which include a medium shot of an individual wearing a hoodie, a body-length shot of another with dark hair swept across their face, standing with legs crossed, a cut-out of someone lying on their back with their arms crossed, two hands, a body-length shot from the back of a naked individual, carrying their shoes, with writing in blue-ink pen superimposed, etc.

Four pieces displayed in a gallery space, including a single painting hanging on a white wall on the left; a sculpture displayed on a white stand, center frame; and two paintings hanging to the right of the sculpture in the background, also on a white wall. The piece on the left is a large blue painting with textured, horizontal stripes on canvas with a stripe of grey populating the bottom right corner. The sculpture in the middle is a white cement figure resembling a puzzle piece, with both jagged and rounded edges, a hole in the middle and four blue stripes going out from it. The paintings on the right are the same size and close together. One displays a large cream circle, partly out of frame, a pink circle within it and a shadow of the cream circle on a pink background. The other has a pink circle near the center, the same size as the other, with a dark stripe to the left of it, all against a background of the same color pink.

Using a variety of methods, the artists achieve a naturalism that aesthetically binds their work together into a single gesture, allowing us glimpses and sensations of the open spaces where we once walked freely, and will soon return.
