I explore the fragility of memory through different photographic mediums to create a personal narrative about how my ever-changing relationship with my childhood and my home informs the role that my chosen family has in my life. My practice began as a documentary photographer, using wide-angle lenses and an external flash to shine a light on people of color. In my first series, Believe in You and Yours, I captured community and joy to make space for positive narratives surrounding minorities. Through this, I found community, and the recurring characters in these series had become a reflection of the important people in my life. After that, my work developed into a personal exploration of how I see my friends and community and my idea of "family."
