Homebound, 2021, inkjet print photo book

Artist Statement

In this work, I document my childhood home to consider how memories are retained in objects, photographs, and spaces. Family photos in this project also highlight the close relationship photography, death, and memory have. By photographing my home using the frames of windows to inform my compositions, I consider the bounds of one’s home as well as how we reconstitute our definition of home once we have left it. These photographs consider how my family’s history functions as a palimpsest where each individual has the autonomy to write their own history, but is always influenced by those who came before.
