OUR TWENTIES // the spaces we enter 

A look into seven individual lives of twenty year olds living in Los Angeles, CA. The twenties are a tulmultuous and uncertain time of life, yet novel and exciting as we document the experience of these individuals about to graduate undergrad. A documentation of the liminal spaces these twenty-year old individuals enter, and eventually emerge from.






FINDING IDENTITY

Entering an individual’s personal space is a special honor, an open invitation to a part of one’s identity.  An exploration using photography is a tool to expose and understand others, I photographed the simply everyday objects and decor found in one’s space. Items that fill the spaces and objects one lives with, lowers a wall revealing parts of one’s identity.
