A Grandfather’s Life in Images
Portrait of My Grandfather is a series examining the legacy of my mother's father who immigrated to the United States in the 1950 in search of a better life. Although a familiar story, the details of his life are fragmented, lost to both time and age. As a way to document what I can now, this series looks to piece together his history through archival images, family accounts, audio recordings, and photo collaborations during our time living together.
An article on this series was published in The Chicago Reader and a solo show including both original and archival images, family letters, and audio interviews was hosted at The Martin in 2023.
