Leah Wendzinski invites her subjects and viewers into a waking dream. A blurred, unbound place that cares less about planning and perfection and more about in-the-moment connection—a space to totally, gently take whatever shape feels right. Primarily working in film, her penchant for spontaneity forms a delicate dance between subject and surroundings to capture fleeting moments of raw being and beauty. Leah's images serve as portals to a realm where viewers are encouraged to appreciate the enigmatic wonders of individual worlds and embrace the magic inherent in transient moments. An interplay of light, shadow, reality, reverie, herself, and her guests allows fate to shape the vision.
