Isolation in Community  -  - - - Canadian Ice Fishing Huts

In 2022 I began to photograph the ice huts on my local lake as a creative and physical outlet.  At the time, I viewed the huts in light of isolation and what it looked like to choose to isolate oneself.  In 2023, my perspective shifted and I began to look at the communities built around the ice fishing huts, taking in the greater surroundings. I became so enamoured with the unique snow-covered expanse of ice, that I envisioned my own whimsical world of huts to be placed on the ice.

So, I created my own huts, out of playful materials and photographed them on my same local lake. 

All huts are photographed and/or created by me, no AI or digital manipulation is involved.

Thank you for enjoying this ice hut adventure with me! 

I’m already looking forward to next winter!
