Homeward is a photographic zine about returning — to place, to places both familiar and new.

Shot over the course of a summer in Washington State in 2025, this body of work reflects a personal return after nearly a decade away. Familiar landscapes seen with new eyes. Long drives, quiet mornings, late sunsets, shared meals, and moments that linger.

Washington in the summer carries a particular energy — long days and the fleeting feeling that the season might never end. Homeward is an attempt to hold onto that feeling.
