Prelude is a documentary project with image and audio that documented my interaction with my peers and fragments of our ongoing conversations.
Subjects are invited to participate in a guided conversation in which they share the current issues they encounter either in professional life or in intimate relationships. Just like in therapy, we unpack past experiences that made us who we are today and what we envision ourselves in the future.
With this combination of powerful, statuesque images, paired with intimate, vulnerable audio recording, I want to showcase the duality that we all embody as we live through and experience our twenties.
Living through post COVID isolation, we as individuals have an ongoing desire to be seen and to be heard. Photographing friends while we spend time together has always been an intuitive and the most natural way for me to create. As I bear witness of their existence, while reflecting on their trauma and sharing as much as they do, we share a moment in time when we feel equally as vulnerable.
