Hope Springs Eternal

These images are a collection of digital photos, documenting my daily walks on South Beach Miami, during recovery from major emergency surgery. A couple years prior to the surgery, I had been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and spent a tumultuous time in and out of hospitals, moving around, fighting for my life. In February 2020 I faced death and surrendered to the removal of my colon. I started over, learning how to walk and care for my life with an ileostomy.

The phrases Hope Springs Eternal, As Above So Below, and Sea The Change, add another layer of meaning to the multi photo pieces. As well as, focus the subject and emotions toward a shared theme. A time of peace, renewal, healing, creativity and transformation in visual form, to affirm the endless cycle of life and power of the human spirit. The season of rebirth, renewal, freshness, cleansing, and an internal sensation of awakening or rising up.
