Jewel is an award-winning artist and author whose work centers on contextual relationships with the body and the integral moments that shape our day-to-day. As a transdisciplinary artist, Jewel explores creativity through themes of ontology, collectivity, and transformation into an experimental stream of abstraction, reflection, and liberation. Jewel's work focuses on the intangible and the corporeal, blending photography, motion picture, critical writing, and installation art. His seminal book, Reflections of Intimacy, was the Pacific Book Award and Maincrest Book Award Winner in 2022; a finalist of the Eric Hoffer Award for Excellence in Independent Publishing, and a finalist of the American Writing Awards in the same year. “Echoes of the Night” is Jewel’s experimental documentary short.
