About ‘Travel’:
This series consists of a collection of images taken throughout my travels abroad and locally in the United States. Majority of these images don’t give markers as to where they were taken, giving them an ambiguity I welcome. They are also stuck in a place where the viewer is unsure what came before or after. In these photos there are things left behind, remnants and impressions, leaving the reading of them open to interpretation.
