Encompassing four years of devoted documentation of the California shoreline, ‘Where Land Meets Sea’ is a photographic series chronicling my journey of meeting kin — for to know a place is to greet and recognize the many shapes and faces that live there.

This project emerged from the shoreline of North County San Diego, my hometown, but has grown with time to reach as far south as Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, and as far north as Navarro Beach in Albion. It began as a way to document my ecological homecoming as I reencountered the lands and waters of my hometown, a place that often felt alien, in my adulthood. With time, ‘Where Land Meets Sea’ began to consider the shoreline as a space of continuity: a liminal realm of constant exchange, where shared languages emerge amongst kin.
