Waters

These waters are not symbols alone. They are living places, carriers of memory, routes of connection, and participants in the conditions from which the work emerges.

  • Nishisakawick Creek
  • Lenapewittuhk (Delaware River)
  • Barnegat Bay
  • Shark River

These waters surround and connect the land I call home.

Naming Lenapehoking acknowledges the Indigenous land and waters within which this practice takes place. It is not a claim of Lenape lineage or authority.
