When I was a kid my life felt a bit crazy or out of order, to feel at peace sometimes I would go behind my trailer to watch the sunset. Some days I was unable to leave the trailer so when I was able to leave I would draw the sunsets for a rainy day. Recently my life has gotten a bit messier so to feel that calm sense of happiness I decided to paint a sunset to try and remind myself that even though things are getting worse right now they are going to get better.
Childhood Digital Photography 2022
As a kid I remember being brought to a park and being posed for awhile and then we just left which made a non authentic look of how I was when a camera wasn’t being put in my face. So in the pictures I took I wanted to try and capture the essence of being a kid by letting the subjects run around and do as they please while I took pictures.

When I was younger the thought of things around me crumbling, whether that is metaphorically or physically, scared me and would make me feel very unsettled no matter what. To this day I still regularly feel the same way, even if the situation is entirely out of my control. In the piece I installed this situation by placing things that would make people feel out of control of a situation or unsettled by the possible inability to fix it, I do this by cracking class and implementing bugs around the walls.
