My work focuses on the idea of self. I question what things make up a person other than their appearance. A person’s sock drawer, the contents of someone’s refrigerator or the shoes in their closet can be a form of self portraiture as much as their face. These small things were what interested me the most. These seemingly mundane moments that most would take for granted are special to me because they make up who I am.

I choose to capture stills of my life in print form in order to validate and memorialize these moments that I find significant. By using a time consuming media to capture a fleeting moment, I am making that tiny moment into something special and allowing viewers to study the documentation of my surroundings or to make their own connections if they chose.
