Time is a tender embrace.

A lyrical, intimate portrait of a Black woman's life across time, told through sensory and emotional impressions rather than plot, celebrating connection and place with visual poetry.

Tender caresses and enveloping embraces are portals into the life of Mack, a Black woman in Mississippi. Winding through the anticipation, love, and heartbreak she experiences from childhood to adulthood, the expressionist journey is an ode to connection — with loved ones and with place.
