1. Silent Light
A still moment in a silent study space, where light pours through angled windows, shadows stretch gently across carpeted floors, and focus settles like dust in the air. A quiet tribute to the spaces graduate students seek, not just for study, but for belonging.

2. Winter Blossoms from Outdoor Learning for Land Stewardship in School District 68 Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools
Red Flowering Currant buds represent the strong heart and spirit of wetland stewardship projects completed in partnership with local schools and Nanaimo Area Land Trust. This indigenous shrub planted by the children characterizes my hope for climate change action and the fruits of my VIU MEDL research study come Summer.
