This series, shaped by both photography and digital editing, invites viewers to reflect on the urban landscape from an Indigenous youth perspective.

City Seen, City Felt

Through this project, I sought to explore the spaces that make up Winnipeg—not as fixed landmarks but as living, breathing parts of a shared experience.
