IN-BETWEEN PHOTO BOOK

IN-BETWEEN PHOTO BOOK

IN-BETWEEN is a meditation on places that linger, spaces that exist not on maps, but in the quiet territory between once life and another. Ottawa’s familiar silhouettes rise and dissolve like fragile recollections, softened by weather, time and passing thought. Streets blue into suggestions, houses lean toward memory, and the sky holds the hush of unspoken belonging. To live between two countries is to carry two versions of the self: one rooted in memory, the other learning to bloom again. these landscapes reflect that duality – a terrain shaped by light and shadow, where past and present overlap like transparent washes of paint. In Between is not a location. It is a way of seeing. A way of being held gently by two worlds at once.
