This work is an exploration of observing and photographing my partner in spaces of sanctuary to him. Moving between our domestic shared space and his home—the boxing gym—Henry establishes intentional rituals and practices through organizing, designing, and curating this world he exists in.
My process in this project is influenced by Henry’s way of moving. What I see as the mundane task of placing objects on a window sill is a meaningful act for him. When photographing him, our objects, and his spaces of sanctuary I channeled and aimed to embody my love for his way of being- with pause and intention.
