The Beekeeper’s Daughter

The Beekeeper's Daughter

These photographs were made across three continents over thirty years, separated by the Atlantic and connected by it. They began as assignments. In the edit, geography dissolved and a life took its place. Seen through the perspective of a woman on her break, her mind elsewhere, tracing the choices that brought her here.

A young man squats at the stern of a handmade boat, his arm reaching up to hold the gunwale. His face is in profile, turned away from the water ahead. In the distance something breaks the surface. The boat is ready. He is not yet.

A father alone at night in his beekeeper suit. Smoke drifting through the light of an abandoned fortress.

They don't find their way back to each other.

None of this happened. All of it is true.
