Sitting Room, Photography, April 2020, 11×14

This big change in everyone’s lives will be remembered for a very long time and it will absolutely go down in history. These changes really pushed my work into a more domestic space, my home and my apartment. As well as beginning to take pictures of myself as the main subject. I realized that these interior spaces almost seem disrupted by me putting my body into the room. This is what these changes are all about, realizing that this pushed me to love myself, my body, and appreciate the space that I have to take these images during this time. Also these domestic places didn’t know what it was like to have people stuck inside its walls for such a long period of time. So forcing myself into the frame plays on the new ways that these spaces have become tiny adventures within your home. History has changed and helped me find my passion for self portraiture as well as become more comfortable in myself.
