Sacred Memories and Hollowed Ground
Sacred Memories & Hallowed Ground is a a project I started just a few days after Donald Trump was reelected as president. This is still a work in progress.
My goal is to visually interpret the identity of the American South and how the values of the people here have been shaped over generations. I use various in camera lens distortion techniques, long exposures, colored lights, and reflections to capture the visual elements that I believe reflect the identity that much of the South holds true. I also wanted to take into account the lives of the people who live in these areas and how their deep roots in faith have shaped the landscape and their values.
