Forsaken

About the Book

November 2025

Forsaken revisits the Calvaire d'Huberdeau, a historic pilgrimage site in Quebec whose monumental Stations of the Cross were built more than a century ago. Once a place of devotion and gathering, the site now stands quietly in the shadow of time—its statues weathered, restored, and softened by age.

Captured through various Lensbaby optics, these thirty-four black and white photographs explore the interplay between faith, memory, and erosion. The selective focus and organic distortion evoke the feeling of movement within stillness, as if the sculptures themselves are suspended between presence and disappearance.

Drawing from the aesthetics of Pictorialism, Forsaken reflects on sacred decay—a meditation on how belief endures even as form fades, and how reverence can linger in what has been left behind.
