Based in Austin, Texas, Ethan Isaiah works like a journalist with a pen (or whatever medium is readily available) documenting the subtle poetry of everyday life—friends laughing in a cluttered apartment, strangers walking their dogs by the lake, the quiet stories written in gesturing hands and slouched postures. His work highlights the uncelebrated. Ethan works quickly to capture fading scenes, embracing smudges and cross hatching as a reminder of life’s impermanence.
