My cat Emi (my baby, the love of my life) died in 2024. I often process things through creating, but for a while, the grief was too heavy to even try. Some days it still is, but in late 2025, I felt solid enough to start.

la lumière danse (French for “the light is dancing”) is an unfinished gallery of short videos, most of which were taken in the home Emi and I shared for her last 2 years. She loved sunbathing and napping on my bed in the late afternoon. I miss her like hell.

When you visit the page, the poem is subtle and hard to read; it becomes more clear if you scroll down, bringing it into the light. It reads: “The meaning is too painful to make. I look for it in little light fragments dancing across my walls, in empty sun spots and window shapes.”
