Bizaanigaabawi invites viewers to pause and explore the quiet moments throughout my travels across Turtle Island. This special collection of images spans from the beginning of my career in January of 2007 to March 2025. The title for this show is of significance because, just as those photographed stand quietly, so too does it require that we stand still in solitude while taking in the exhibition. Also, I feel that colour would've rendered as too chaotic, and so I chose black and white photos to invoke a sense of simplicity—in this way, the black and white format echos the main premise of the show title. Biizaanigaabawi is an Anishinaabemowin word that translates to he or she stands quietly and/or still.
