Personal Utopias
The pursuit for community, interconnection, and being seen is a continuous human endeavor. We are told that happiness comes from job security, creating a family unit, and having a stable home. But is that really true? Where do we go if these pillars are fractured? What motivates us to grow? How does one find belonging in a world that is constantly changing? These have always been central questions in my work.
Personal Utopias is made up of individual photographs taken from West Coast to East Coast USA, from Mexico to Italy. What are the worlds we’ve created in response to the ones we’ve been given?
