Provided You're Still Here captures a space between presence and absence, places that feel like someone just left or hasn't arrived yet. Shot between sunset and sunrise, the series sits in the solitude of wondering about the other. Unsure if they're waiting for you somewhere you might return, or somewhere you haven't been yet. Floating through bars, car washes, empty booths, and even a Waffle House, "Provided" leaves hope that there might be someone waiting.
