Where We Learn to Fall looks at childhood from a distance, shaped by memory and time. Rather than revisiting my own past, the work observes children and teenagers moving through public space, using moments of play, risk, and waiting to reflect on how freedom is learned and limited.

Made near Boulder where I live and while traveling, the photographs show kids testing boundaries—climbing, falling, drifting—while surrounded by rules, supervision, and infrastructure built by adults. As the series unfolds, play becomes more structured and movement more guided. The work avoids nostalgia, treating childhood as a shared experience shaped by place, culture, and systems that quietly teach us where we’re allowed to move.
