2020-21 | Monument
​
The character and memories of a place are often the product of the people who inhabited it. In this series people and places inseparably merge into psychological monuments. The images are inspired by my own experience of returning home, both in waking life and in recurring dreams.

In cases where a work did not perfectly fit the themes of a series, I placed that work according to date. I placed these less related works at the bottom of the page.
