Artist Statement

“Peichi Waite is based in Highland Park, NJ, but lived in ten cities prior. The physical, emotional, and spiritual displacement inherent in such migration pushed her to explore new ways of framing the sacredness of a place’s beauty and the consequential weight it holds in healing both individuals and communities. As an artist with a background in education and sociology, she peruses historical documents, maps, and artifacts to get a feel for a location’s past, spends many hours walking its streets with intentional sensitivity and openness, and photographs spots where the weight of lament or healing feels particularly pronounced.”
