Analog photographs from family archives and text, printed on paper, variable dimensions.
STILLS, 2023 — ongoing.
Once you start writing, it all becomes fiction.
This project began with lines written in notebooks, half-thoughts, daily notes, overheard conversations. They were meant to lead somewhere: a story, a poem, a series that would eventually give them a body. Most never did.
I began pairing these lines with photographs from my family archives. Together, they began to create fictions of their own. Slowly, my family became the characters. Their gestures remained the same, but the stories changed.
