Abstract:
"This thesis investigates the relationship between photography and memory. It focuses on
human nature’s tendency to idealize certain memories from our past especially when we are
unhappy with our day to day lives. I use family archives and southern landscapes to reveal
family history and personal experiences, while also using the overlaying of imagery to speak to
the imperfection of personal memory."
