Room to Breathe

There are a lot of things about growing up that I thought I would rather forget. There are a lot of spaces in this home that I believed I should just let go of. But, even as an adult, both the home and my history in it still loom largely over me. As I photographed these traces of the resentful person I used to be, I realized that maybe I needed to remember something else. Maybe this visual evidence of the past is necessary for me to understand that despite all the conflict and pain, all my efforts to control and rebel, I am who I am today because this place and the people in it cared for me.

Seen at The Museum at FIT's Thresholds exhibition, May 14 - May 26, 2024.
