HOME
2018 - 2020 PHOTOGRAPHY
DESCRIPTION
Home is a series of images documenting my hometown, Schomberg, Ontario. The series prioritizes images from the farm I was raised on before moving to the city to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts.
ARTIST STATEMENT
In my youth, I always dreamed of moving to an urban area, where the city never sleeps or where the city lights meet the horizon at night. I knew the rural farm and slight whistling of the wind in the trees could never offer me comfort like the city could, so I never really appreciated the place I grew up. In this series, I wanted to document my family's farm in a new light, appreciating the beauty of the animals and the countryside before moving to the city to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. I took photos of our farm, pets, and crops for two years, compiling the most aesthetic images in this personal project, Home.
