The series of photographs “Inner Lands” is an immersion into autistic intimacy.
It’s a gaze turned toward where we feel entitled to exist, fully. When we enter our
safe space, we choose the world. Our senses are no longer overloaded, unable to
provide us with information without causing us pain: they are celebrated to bring us
tenderness and joy. A gentle rocking back and forth in a rocking chair or a hammock,
a comforting moment to ourselves in our room in front of our computer, an overflow
of love with our pets, a river’s trickle, a dance of light through tree leaves, a meeting
with nature: it’s there that we can exist fully and simply.
