Upheaval

The series of images featured highlight a time in the artist’s childhood fraught with familial upheaval. Rather than focus on the people involved they capture on the imprint of energy left behind in the space said people inhabit.

The abandoned and empty mood of a foyer meant to welcome and receive guests. The stagnancy and tension of an empty sitting room.
