In Passing A photographic study of memory, silence, and the American roadside.

There are places along the highway where time slows, where someone loved never made it home. Crosses mark the gravel. Silk flowers fade in the heat. A candle in a jar waits for dusk.

In Passing is a visual elegy to these roadside shrines, ephemeral memorials built not to last, but to be seen. Each photograph documents a moment of quiet devotion left behind by those who still remember, even if the world drives past.

Set against the vast landscapes of the American West—deserts, forests and mountain roads, this series captures grief not as spectacle, but as presence. A cross in the dust. A bend in the road. A name that’s no longer spoken aloud.

This is where memory lives:
not in the noise of the world,
but in the silence it leaves behind.
