The Unbeaten Path

Photography

Sometimes, the path to creating something meaningful is the one we never intended to take.

For months, I wrestled with what to submit for this exhibit, convinced my offering would take the familiar form of a drawing or painting. Yet, in a season of exhaustion, when the mental space for creativity seemed out of reach, the answer came unexpectedly. At the eleventh hour, a collection of photographs I had overlooked revealed itself as something more than images captured in passing. They became reminders of what God had been teaching me all along.

The Unbeaten Path is a visual reflection on three simple yet profound invitations: BEE, WATCH, and FLY. Through the quiet work of a bee, the vigilance of a hawk, and the freedom of a butterfly, I was reminded that God’s lessons are often woven into the ordinary moments we might otherwise miss.
