100 7th St.

100 7th St explores family, relationships, and space using photography as a vehicle of memory. I have always felt compelled to photograph every moment with my family, whether for fear of forgetting or fear of loss of the person entirely. During the course of this project, my family and I come together at our family homes throughout times of celebration and loss. The photographs are situated between snapshot and harsh reality, drawing similarities to relationships on the surface and that which is unseen. The camera became my barrier and entry point for observing and engaging with my family using a di erent perspective. These photographs allowed me to rede ne my role in my family as an adult but also a grandchild, child, and cousin. While the photographs each hold a speci c emotional meaning, they are documentation of the suburban American family experience. Photographing in this way changed my relationship to and perspective of the medium itself.
