Between Water & Sky is an ongoing photographic,video, and sound series developed within Tidal, a long-term body of work examining how waterways and landscapes of the Northeast hold memory, movement, and Black presence.
Engaging landscape as both archive and mirror, the series moves through the Hudson River, the Erie Canal, and surrounding waterways. Across black and white and color photographs, fog, shifting skies, quiet shorelines, and moments of stillness shape an atmosphere where memory is felt rather than narrated. The land is approached not as neutral scenery, but as an active witness absorbing histories of migration, labor, and passage that often remain unmarked.
Resisting nostalgia, the work understands home as layered and unstable: a site of return, transformation, and ongoing relationship rather than a fixed destination. Slowness and attention function as central strategies, inviting sustained looking and embodied presence.
Between Water & Sky asks how landscapes remember and how we are shaped by the places we move through, linger within, and continue to call home.
