Forever, It Lasts
I hold you
every day
and I think to myself
I can’t imagine
a life
without
adoring you,
my love.
the phrase I hear
again and again
“time flies,” still—
a day, a week,
spent
this feeling of
forever…
it endures.
Forever, It Lasts, presents a world where time collapses. Early parenthood uniquely transforms how we perceive and experience time. It is a period of life where devotion is as consuming as the day-to-day exhaustion; time feels different each day, and how we feel about it asks us to exist in contradictions.
The multiplicity of emotions and inherent partiality of this reality are expressed through contrapuntal poetry, intended to interweave multiple sentiments. As a result, the reader gains a different perspective by reading the columns independently and interdependently.
The photographs challenge and bear witness to the paradox of experiencing time as both fast and slow. Combined, the project explores how unrelenting repetition and unconditional adoration are both present, valid, and worth acknowledging.
