Manitoba

Fog doesn’t erase, it distills. What remains in the hush is not absence, but a pause between stories. Trees lean like breathless witnesses, caught in the act of remembering. This isn’t mystery—it’s a threshold. You aren’t lost here; you’re being rewritten.
Winnipeg in Black and White

Early Morning Fog

The forest holds its breath. Morning fog clings to the undergrowth like a held memory, softening the sharpness of the branches.

It stands where steel forgets it’s steel—among colour bleeding from walls, among echoes not meant for birds. A pause with feathers. A poem without lines. Graffitied stillness, urban myth. Something sacred hums low under the bridge, and the goose listens.

Provencher Bridge floats between breath and concrete, a tethered gesture over water’s slow murmur. Light fractures across its spine like memory refracted—half civic promise, half spectral hush. It does not span space, but thought—an architecture of pause, where crossings blur into echoes and the river forgets which way is forward.

We never grew up with bridges like this—suspended, sweeping, confident in the air.

The caribou’s dark eyes scanned the white expanse, finally settling on the familiar green fringe clinging to the shadowed branch. Each snow-laden strand of lichen was a tiny beacon, a frozen delicacy in the vast stillness. It nudged its muzzle through the icy crystals, a fleeting taste of earth and survival in the heart of winter’s hold.

The Silence Between Seasons

The last snowstorm arrived quietly, as if it knew it was out of place. Spring had already begun to whisper its presence—through swollen buds, longer…

It falls without urgency, this last snow—drifting more from memory than sky. It does not bite or blind; it merely lands, as if out of habit. A gesture. A goodbye. It traces the old logs like a lover running fingers over a sleeping face, not ready to leave, not ready to stay. There is no storm in it—only the quiet insistence of something finishing itself. Beneath it, life waits—wet, thawing, uncoiling in shadows. The snow does not know it is the last, but the earth does. And in that silence, the air holds something tender: not an ending, but the echo of one.
Winter's End

The Last Snow Knows

The logs lie quiet beneath a final whisper of snow, like forgotten verses in a poem winter never finished. Each ring in the wood tells…

Against the backdrop of Executive Order 14168, the fractured paintbrush on a dark canvas symbolizes the National Endowment for the Arts' drastic shift away from supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The stark contrast between the vibrant potential of artistic expression and the encroaching darkness reflects the chilling impact of funding cuts under conservative mandates. As marginalized artists face unprecedented challenges, the arts community must rally to protect the transformative power of creative freedom.

Beneath the Code. Fractured Land.

Mud pulls at your feet, the river hums under closed bridges, and the air thickens with thawed-out memory. Between branches and broken trails, a stillness opens—where water dreams upward, steel waits without speaking, and the season writes itself in soft collisions.

Waiting at the Water’s Edge

In spring, the river swells with memory. Ice pulls back, revealing thick ribbons of mud and trails softened by thaw.
