That time one October when a solo witch paddle on Stony Brook Harbor caught the attention of a stranger with a camera. An unexpected collection of photographs, a little autumn magic, and a crescent-shaped relic inspired by the season.

Every October, the paddleboard takes on a different personality. A reflection on SUP witch paddles, seasonal rituals, and the inspiration that eventually found its way into a little piece of artwork.

A forgotten video from 2019 resurfaced in my Facebook Memories, inspiring me to revisit the story behind a custom Boy Scout neckerchief slide featuring a hand-cut sterling silver Chai (חי) symbol. From the original sketch to the finished piece, this archival project offers a glimpse into the creative process behind a one-of-a-kind commission.

A quiet extension of the studio — where field notes, shoreline light, and handcrafted silver come together in motion.
