My original piece ICEWATCH was published by WBEZ Chicago on Jan 13th, 2023.

Full story linked here.

When I moved to Chicago, it was the first time I felt truly committed to a place, and I felt a deep desire to be embedded in its ecosystem

For me, ICEWATCH is a deeply spiritual practice: I want to build reverence and fear for the power of the Lake, understand its changes more intimately, and pay my respects to the entity that gives life to all of Chicago. ICEWATCH is an attempt to grow closer to the Lake’s cycles.
