ABOUT

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the stories people carry beneath the surface.​ 

 

Not the stories we tell the world, but the quieter ones.

The chapters that shape us while we are busy living them. The moments that seem ordinary at the time, only to reveal their significance years later.

The idea for Prism of Time began with a photograph of myself that I kept returning to.

 

When it was taken, I couldn't see past the literal image. Years later, I saw something that I could not see at the time. Where I had once seen pain & loss, I now saw courage and incredible strength.

Where I had focused on what was missing, I saw what had been carried.

The photograph had not changed. I had.​​​​​​​

Prism of Time

That experience left me wondering how many versions of ourselves we move past without ever truly acknowledging them.

How often do we rush towards what comes next without pausing to notice where we are?

Prism of Time grew from that question.

It is an invitation to pause long enough to witness yourself as you are today. To step out of the rush for a moment and notice where you are, what you are carrying, and what it feels like to be you in this moment.

Not because it is extraordinary.

Not because it is difficult.

Not because it marks a milestone.

But because it matters.

Through portraiture and a 'Letter to This Moment', each woman creates a record of a moment in time - not only of how it looked, but how it felt to live it.

Years from now, you may return to your portrait and your 'Letter to This Moment' and discover something you can't yet see today.

Not because they have changed.

But because you have.

The more women I meet, the more I realise that every life contains moments worthy of being witnessed.

 

Moments that rarely ask for our attention while we're living them, yet often become deeply significant with time.

Prism of Time is an invitation to pause and honour one of those moments - not because it is extraordinary, but because it is yours.

If something you've read here has quietly resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.
