Abstract:
"'Trauma of the Mundane' is a body of work spanning the last three years of my life. It focuses on the anxiety surrounding everyday life that stems, in large part, from my return to civilian life after military service and deployment. It is a visual record of my transition from a strictly regimented world in which every day and minute had a goal to a very different, unstructured experience. This work has been articulated using the familiar aesthetic of the 'snapshot,' whether shot with a plastic Diana camera, an instant Polaroid, or large-format camera systems. These varied perspectives allow a thorough exploration of my depression and anxiety surrounding the mundane world post deployment." --Abstract
