Hi! My name is Haley Sessoms and I am an emerging artist from a small town in Virginia; however, I am currently studying photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Primarily focusing on black and white, my images range from conceptual and abstract to landscape and nature portraiture. My work goes beyond photography, as I practice film, painting, and poetry. Themes of softness, home, grief, and nature carry through many of my media. Materiality is important in my work, as I aim to ignite these emotions through textures, both natural and artificial. Influenced by identity, nature, and permanence, I hope to explore the solitude of remaining rooted and connected to our environments. There is no certainty in release; there is only evidence in presence.
