"Untitled"
A photo series from December 2020/January 2021; developed in March. I knew at this point the website and writing in general were draining activities that had felt forced. I felt I had identified myself as a writer and an artist in a specific medium, with photography as a hobby, and that it was "too late" to change my mind and try other things, or be open to a change.

I was also experiencing feelings of imposter syndrome. I felt like a fraud and a fake by calling myself an artist or a writer or a poet when I wasn't proud of most of my work, and was comparing myself and work to others. 

In these photos, I wanted to capture the feelings of transparency I strived to portray in all of my writings and how doing so left me without a lifeline while slowly depleting my vitality as a creative. I also wanted to portray with these photos the guilt that comes with imposter syndrome or feelings of not belonging or being good enough. I hope that is seen through the dying flowers, empty glass, and lack of water or nutrients in a seemingly barren environment.

I spent a majority of 2020 living with my mom, who I hadn't lived with for 5+ years prior to 2020. These images capture the aspects of her home that let me in, the corners where I found my home with her. All photos were taken on Canon AE-1 with Kodak Gold 200 35mm film and exposed film from 1980.
