As children, we wander into the woods with open eyes and empty pockets, gathering nature’s small, discarded artifacts—a pinecone, a seed pod, an acorn—simply for the quiet wonder of their existence. Over time, those pockets empty, and the treasures are forgotten.

Forest Souvenirs grew from a single pinecone picked up in my yard and set aside, followed weeks later by an acorn found across the farm. Collected responsibly over three years, from my own land to trips across the country, the series became an adult return to those childhood days exploring the woods and creek behind my house.
