For this project, I chose to use a series of superimposed images to convey the reciprocal relationship that exists between humans and the things and experiences we hold closest. I chose to focus on my own personal experiences, and therefore used a combination of self portraits and photographs taken at places and times that have deeply affected and shaped me.

When something truly touches you, it not only leaves it’s mark on you, but you become a part of it as well. Even if only the shadow of a memory of your time with it remains, there is something in both you and it that remembers - that recalls your interaction. The places, objects, people, and moments that make the  most impact on us never leave us - they become a permanent part of us, change us, reside in our hearts and our minds and our souls and make us who we are. We in turn become a part of the things we allow to become part of us, and the cycle continues endlessly.
