There are many formal elements in my photographic work that can be seen informing one another-visually and conceptually.

The natural fragementations that occur through light absorptions, refractions, and reflections of these images reference that of multiple exposures, but they are actually all single exposures.

Growing up in Miami, I have become adjusted to this environment as the mundane, and have learned to see past the oversaturation of the realities it holds for many as the certainty. I photograph differently when I am here and constantly have to shift the way I photograph, even though it is one of the places I know most. 

In this series, I am exploring the many ways in which certainty areas an represents or misrepresents reality, where one enters feels somewhat certain familiarity but uncertainty at the same time. There are many days, I do not feel that Miami is home. The buildings I walked into no longer exist, the people inside them have been pushed out and left in the history.
