​​"With my camera, whether existing in the same places with humans or non-human animals, I've been complimented that my emotional intelligence and visual intentionality creates a sense of familiarity and belonging while embedded in intimate experiences. It’s a cool audience perspective to hear in memorializing how it feels to migrate through space and time while using the visual arts as my compass." - LTJ​
