This marks a shift for me. For a long time I’ve wanted to push beyond working from photographs and see what would happen if I leaned into what was already there — working from introspection rather than external reference. In that sense, this is my first true original. The Second Order came from ideas and a mindset that have been steadily forming over the last three years. For me, it’s deeply personal. But for those who pick up on it, it may feel uncomfortably familiar.
