Mai is a photographer based between Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Canada, whose work explores the space where landscape meets abstraction, where nature becomes emotion. Through film-inspired tones and a focus on organic textures, lines, and shapes, she captures the quiet poetry of the outdoors in unexpected ways. Her photographs aren’t just landscapes; they're emotional landscapes, meant to stir a sense of memory, movement, and introspection.
Drawn to the overlooked cracks in concrete, light through leaves, ripples on water, Mai sees the world not for what it is, but how it feels. Her signature use of muted film colors and soft contrast creates a timeless, almost dreamlike aesthetic that evokes nostalgia without needing a story.
Based between city edges and natural spaces, she finds inspiration in the in-between: fleeting light, imperfect surfaces, and moments that might otherwise go unseen. Each frame is both intuitive and intentional, an invitation to slow down, sense more, and see differently.
