Surrounded

Surrounded is a five-part zine series created from photographs taken between 2013 and 2017. Each volume draws on a shared archive but pulls a different thread—geometry, texture, place, rhythm. The titles include Other Geometries, Surface Area, PNW, Strays, and Unpopular Music. Published independently in 2017, the project launched at the Vancouver Photo Book Fair as part of the Capture Photography Festival.

Each volume offers a different mood and way of seeing. The sequencing is intuitive—built around loose themes rather than rigid categories. What connects them is a fascination with the overlooked, the textured, and the ambient patterns that surface in everyday space.
