The past couple of years have taken a mental and physical toll on me due to changes in my family and relationships, leaving me grieving what I used to know. My parents went through a divorce, which changed the reality of the house I grew up in. I have grown apart from my house and become detached from the memories I created there. By contorting my body to fit it, these photographs force my body back into the spaces of my home, trying to reconnect with it and the memories made there. Ultimately, the positioning of my body is seen here emerging out of these spaces, signifying the growth of my relationships with my parents, and the acceptance of moving out soon. Using myself as the subject establishes a connection to my past self in parts of my home I will have to say goodbye to and allows me to accept the parting of ways with the house that raised me.
