Nothing was Ever the Same
In California, July tends to be the hottest month of the year. The kind of heat where it can be uncomfortable to exist.
Nothing was Ever the Same is a photographic series comprised of digital collage and manipulation where each collage is a diary of the day. Every day in the month of July 2018 I attempted to simultaneously work through and escape the concerns that were bubbling up in my life. The issues that were causing me to be overrun with anxiety and depression. The problems that had made it uncomfortable to exist.
These diary entries are unrelated but somehow interconnected to one another. The daily photos often referenced geographical locations, self portraits, and random things that felt like treasures of the banal. Collaging the photos removes the sense that the photograph is a document and opens up the image to abstraction and surrealism, allowing for entirely new scenes to be created.
Nothing was Ever the Same looks into the subconscious and coping to show that nothing is ever quite as it seems.

All That Remains
All That Remains examines the biological phenomenon of insomnia and its mental and physical effects on the body. The work is a documentation and interpretation of chronic insomnia that the artist endured over the course of six months. Throughout this time the artist collected her hair that was shed on a daily basis as evidence and a physical manifestation of an internal struggle.
