2026 SxSE Winter Wonderland(s) Exhibition

I am thrilled that Closed For Winter, was chosen for the SxSE Winter Wonderland(s) Exhibition curated by Molly Roberts.

“Closed For Winter” captures the quiet introspection of Chicago’s Navy Pier during its off-season dormancy. The iconic Ferris wheel, usually a vibrant beacon of summer revelry, stands silent, its skeletal form etched against a muted sky. I was drawn to the stark beauty of this stillness, a profound contrast to the bustling energy it typically embodies.

The snow-dusted stairs in the foreground serve not just as a visual anchor, but as a metaphor for the path ahead – a journey through stillness and anticipation, marked by the gentle accumulation of time and nature’s embrace. This photograph speaks to the inherent beauty of dormancy, the quiet power of nature, and the enduring presence of landmarks even when they are at rest.
