Senior Thesis--Current Work

In my recent work, people who are familiar to me take on the role of anonymous characters in a narrative. These characters are often faced with feelings of isolation, alienation, longing, and entrapment. I approach my photographic work in a cinematic fashion, so that these themes become a recurrent and visible thread throughout time. Referencing the linear nature of film allows me to narrate and elongate a short period of time in a person’s life. Rather than staging characters to be found in narrative places, I hope to demonstrate that the extraordinary themes and theatrics of cinema can be found in what has become to many, banal activities in mundane lives.
