Over the Thanksgiving holiday I went home and shot three of the many homes I've lived in throughout my life. Followed are staged images of objects that are meant to represent a memory. This series is apart of my ongoing, 'Home' series.
Cozy Late 2004 - 2007
When I was a child my father was an angry alcoholic. One night I was refusing to go to bed, I was 7 years old. He threw a remote at me, which hit me directly in the nose, that as a result led to a big nosebleed.
The video game, Sims, has played a big part in my childhood with my siblings. Growing up we had played a lot of sims 2 and I appreciate those days now because in those moments we were bonding.
School House 2007 - 2017
When my sister was in 10th grade she as diagnosed with depression. She dropped out and stayed in her basement bedroom everyday, all day. I would spend most of my days down there too. I knew something was wrong with her, but being a kid I didn't fully understand depression. However, I slept on the floor next to her bed everynight. I skipped school for most of that year to stay down there with her.
I was in High School when I had gotten the news that my father had been snorting heroin for over a year. Things started to make more sense after knowing, and my sister and I started to notice things more. He would snort it in the bathroom on the sink counter. We would see heroin residue sometimes.
New York 2018 - Currently
After my brother had left for rehab, my sister and I cleaned out his room. We found many of his stashes, this is one of them.
This is the window of my older brothers bedroom. He passed away, October 15th, 2019.
