"when the stars fell from the sky, v1: ghost light" is a self-published, hand-modified photo-book and print edition with original verse. The work depicts my experience in the face of debilitating grief and loss. Although it is personal, it is meant to speak more universally, to the what happens to us as humans—what happens to our psyche—when we are faced with a life event that we never saw coming and find difficult to maneuver through.
