Growing up in a small WASPY suburban town, I was surrounded by a culture that subscribed to programmatic concepts of material wealth. Without abundance my family would have been socially irrelevant, ignored, and stigmatized. I had ignorantly participated within this lifestyle, and saw wealth as the most important aspect of living. My photographs explore and challenge the sexual, religious, and monetary boundaries that were planted in my mind during adolescence. I am currently investigating the projections that are the result of coexisting in a controlled and unbalanced habitat, and how the permanence of these ideals potentially follow a person throughout the course of life.
