Pilgrimage

Across cultures and centuries, people have walked to places that hold meaning. Trekked to sacred sites shaped by ritual, grief, reverence, or the long memory of the land itself. A pilgrimage is as much a journey outward as it is way of marking change within, of meeting landscapes that ask us to slow down, witness, and listen.

The sites gathered here span ancient monuments, burial grounds, contemporary memorials, and places where human experience and the living earth meet. Walking these places offered me a way to learn directly from the land and to understand how it holds history, how it carries loss, and how it gestures toward renewal. Each journey became a study in the ways people have shaped land to remember what matters.

These pilgrimages continue to inform my work; how I think about place, mourning, community, and the design of spaces meant for belonging and transformation. Each location includes a brief reflection and a gallery of images from my time there.
