Lifeboat brings together photographs made over several years and in different contexts, originally without a unified intent. Through time and re-reading, the images began to form a coherent body of work. The title refers to a lifeboat not as a symbol of rescue, but as a means of remaining afloat. The photographs function as what persists — fragments carried forward rather than discarded — allowing experience to endure as circumstances, geography, and personal frameworks change. In this sense, the work is less concerned with documenting events or places than with preserving a continuity of looking. Drawing from Viktor Frankl's notion that meaning is situational and mutable, Lifeboat proposes that significance is not inherent to the image, but activated over time. The photographs acquire meaning through re-encounter, as personal and temporal conditions shift. Images made at a later stage of the work introduce a new temporal distance rather than a new direction; they operate as connective tissue, enabling earlier work to become legible. Geographic note: The photographs in this project span both the United States and Europe. Their placement and selection emphasize an intentional ambiguity — images are not bound strictly to location, but function as threads connecting moments, contexts, and experiences across time.
