Fragrant Ground is a long-form visual narrative to share a glimpse of the unique beauty of the isthmus of Panamá, the diversity of its people, its culture, and its terrain. The title is a nod to the experience of stepping over fully bloomed flowers as they fall from trees and cover the ground.

This book invites curiosity about the life of the people of Panamá. The printed photographs help you take in more, feel more, understand more, and experience a more profound effect than viewing them on a screen. You notice that each photograph preserves a moment that is gone forever and yet lives through these pages. Fragrant Ground is an expansive work that questions cultural truths, challenges societal biases, and establishes relationships between disparate ideas. You are invited to see Panamá through the author's lens.
