When I first began learning about the art and science of photography and how to shoot and develop film using SLR cameras, first through the Toronto School of Art as a twelve-year-old among adults and soon after as a teenage visual arts major through the once highly competitive Claude Watson Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School, I was satisfied with sharing my work with my classmates, a handful of close friends, and my parents.

On Wednesday, January 24, 2024, I woke up at approximately 6:00 AM EST to prepare for the media event on behalf of my new solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, which showcases my 18-year-old documentary project on Toronto’s hip-hop culture, community, and history.

I am honoured and grateful to announce that Nieuport Aviation presents my second solo Project T-Dot art exhibit at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Proudly sponsored by Sony Music Entertainment Canada and part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival’s 2024 programming, it is located past the airport’s underground tunnel, specifically in its terminal.
