Personal Holiday Cards
This set of personal holiday postcards reframes celebration as a quiet overlay rather than a fixed season. Drawn from a personal photo archive, the images capture ordinary moments—walks, pauses, incidental details—some taken far from winter or ritual dates.
Holiday motifs are introduced gently, layered onto the images rather than imposed. Color and black-and-white coexist across the set, allowing contrast between warmth and restraint, presence and memory. What emerges is not nostalgia, but displacement: the holiday appearing where it is not expected.
The postcards resist spectacle. They suggest that meaning does not arrive on schedule, and that personal rituals can surface anywhere, at any time, if allowed.
