Thyself is a documentary series of portraits and interviews that examines the maturation and physical/mental transformation that young adults – between ages of 19 and 25 – must all inevitably face.
The project is a search for those alike; it's a yearning and a curiosity for some form of shared connection and lived experience. By opening the space for conversations on life altering emotions and decisions, I have discovered connections: people facing the reality of growing up, confronting change, the idea of adulthood, and generational patterns. To make this work, I, the photographer, take a moment to understand and embrace my subjects. In the process of creating, Thyself leads with a recorded conversation, which informs and provides a perspective to a subsequent portrait. This project aims to celebrate the individual we were, and the person we’re becoming.
