Collections
Pushing the Wave is an ongoing series celebrating creativity, reflection and the art of seeing the world anew. Each volume gathers a collection of essays, stories and photo essays by L.A. Davenport, exploring life, art and the everyday moments that shape our sense of connection and meaning.
The first volume, Pushing the Wave 2017–2022, captures five years of thought-provoking writing, from meditations on technology and solitude to essays on travel, creativity and human nature.
Its successor, Pushing the Wave 2023, continues the journey with a renewed sense of intimacy and visual richness, combining reflective essays, drawings and evocative photography in a celebration of observation and imagination.
Together, these books offer a deeply personal yet universal chronicle of modern life—an invitation to pause, think and rediscover the beauty in experience.
