The series A Place Between is rooted more firmly in the documentary tradition. It began as a response to my relocation to Orangeburg, South Carolina, and later expanded to include rural areas of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. While exploring these environments, I did not approach my subjects with detachment; instead, my reflections on decay and decline shaped the work. I became attentive to traces of past vitality and to the ways these places have shifted from destinations to sites of passage—locations that exist between elsewhere.

As the notion of interstitial space developed, I actively sought out environments that embodied this condition. These sites have come to function as memento mori: spaces that, in their gradual disappearance, serve as reminders of transience and the inevitability of nonexistence.
