“Cascade”
2. a process whereby something, typically information or knowledge, is successively passed on.
"the greater the number of people who are well briefed, the wider the cascade effect"
At its core, Cascade is reference material for BIPOC in creative spaces. It focuses on bolstering the amount of representation of BIPOC in the arts through photographs and interviews. Articles with interviews give artists across various mediums the space to speak candidly about their experiences in their relative fields- while the editorials work towards filling the gap of representation in the realm of creative practices.
Cascade was made possible with the support of the Toronto Arts Council.

‘Once When Still' is an ode to the nuance of loving relationships, meant to capture a moment in time when feelings of love are mutually shared. Love shared between partners, love shared between a parent and child and love shared between friends.
Once when still, we felt the same.

Coeval - A Pulse for Beauty
This documentation of the Dominican Republic’s DNA represents the disconnection and contrasts between their reality and ours. While for the western society social media reigns supreme and we engage in multiple forms of a digitalised existence, they are in the present and anything outside of that seems frivolous. This story captures the beauty, focusing on the human aspect.
