SALT
inspired by the poetry of nayyirah waheed, these images were taken the month following my dad’s death
salt explores the rawness of love and loss on my journey of grief.
atlantic ocean // january 2019
your soul is inflamed.
good.
pay attention.
find water.
come inside.
- map
sit in the ocean.
it is one of the best medicines
on the planet.
- the water
the hard season
will
split you through.
do not worry.
you will bleed water.
do not worry.
this is grief.
- therapy (an excerpt)
these are not tears.
this is the sea.
- tides
if
the ocean can
calm itself
so can you.
we
are both
salt water
mixed
with
air
- meditation
how does the sea remember me. every time.
(that neverending nurturing you need.
the sea has it.)
grieve. so that you can be free to feel something else.
