Untitled.5(Identity Steps)

In this series I suggest the effects of time on memory become increasingly hazy and anonymous. From the visual perspective we see what is in front of us but not behind us, though it is possible to turn around and as we turn we may discover reality. Art can present an alternative to what people think they realize or to what they expect to know which might otherwise be too painful or too beautiful to experience. I try to capture a single moment when home and exile do not seem opposed to each other, but are parts of a single process of our existence. Through these photographs we recognize there are no boundaries in our lives and bring us to memorialize pain and beauty thru out time.
