The Brooklyn Series began when I arrived in Brooklyn as a new mother, carrying my four-month-old son into an unfamiliar city—and into a new version of myself. With little sense of what to expect, I started walking, pushing a stroller through streets, bridges, parks, and subway lines, tracing the neighborhood again and again in quiet observation.

What first felt repetitive slowly revealed its details. As I learned the nuances of motherhood, I also began to notice the city around me: the foliage of towering trees, the brick facades of industrial buildings, ornamental friezes, aging gates, layered paint on fire escapes, and water towers rising above the rooftops. Drawing became my way of absorbing and understanding this landscape.

The series focuses on recurring elements of Brooklyn’s visual language. Through these prints, the natural imprecision of block printing emerges, emphasizing both repetition and uniqueness. These everyday structures feel like quiet witnesses to the city’s layered history—fragments of a place that will likely outlast my own passage through it.
