A short essay about a print series. Every image opens in one sequence, shown whole whatever its crop.
October 2026 · 5 prints
Every print in this series starts as a tray of water and a few drops of ink. A comb pulls the colors into bands, and a sheet of paper lifts them off in one pass.
No two sheets come out alike. We kept the five where the colors stayed apart, and printed them on matte cotton paper at the size they were made.
import { bindLightboxGallery } from "@reuse-sh/lightbox";
// One sequence for the whole article, in reading order.
const article = document.querySelector("article.journal");
bindLightboxGallery(article, { thumbnails: true, imageClick: "zoom" });import { useLightbox } from "@reuse-sh/lightbox/react";
import { useRef } from "react";
export function Journal({ photos, children }) {
const lightbox = useLightbox({ thumbnails: true, imageClick: "zoom" });
const root = useRef(null);
const open = (index) => {
const images = root.current.querySelectorAll("img");
lightbox.open(photos.map((photo, i) => ({ ...photo, origin: images[i] })), index);
};
return <article ref={root} className="journal">{children(open)}</article>;
}
