I loved the conversations we had about our grandmothers. How they used to take us to church or the market, wearing all white. Even though they were in Europe, their looks  always reflected back on the island. I feel this is a feeling we shared deeply with each other: an understanding of family and memory that naturally comes through in the photography. This became the central focus of the project.

In these images, the subject wears all white, and we photograph her in church spaces and other meaningful locations. In the film, we follow her journey from the countryside to the city, walking past the market, and enjoying her Sunday stroll. These everyday movements, gestures, and environments carry a quiet intimacy that ties the work together.

The collaboration with Ree Projects felt like a continuation of conversations that had started long before, a shared understanding of cultural duality, both having Caribbean upbringings and understanding of the world. When the opportunity came to work in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, it felt like the right setting to explore themes of home, resilience, and spiritual connection. The islands have this quiet strength, a pulse that feels familiar to me. It’s a place where movement and stillness coexist, and through the lens, I wanted to capture that tension and peace at the same time.

The first time I was creatively introduced to the island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was through SkiiFall, a Vincentian artist based in Canada. I met him in London, and his whole spirit reflects the island. It’s deeply connected to the music he makes. I think he’s a strong reflection of the island’s cultural zeitgeist, and we naturally connected over similar themes: home, belonging, and celebrating the people and places that shaped him. I think the spirit of St. Vincent & the Grenadines can not be reflected without his contribution to the playlist, specifically the song “Break of Dawn featuring Badbadnotgood.”
