Treasures We Were Meant To Find
LEMMA GALLERY
NORTH ADAMS, MA
NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2024
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I set out to record, in still images, my family's experience as we lived in lockdown and then emerged into the New Normal.
For almost two years, the entire world was our tiny urban apartment and the sidewalk in front of it. The frame rarely widens beyond our personal landscape. This body of work is less an artifact than an emotional portrait of one American family living through a global event on an intimate scale.
Shot on whatever camera was close at hand, from pocket to professional, and processed in black and white, these images situate a private story within a documentary tradition that transforms personal experience into collective memory.
