These photographs are from an ongoing body of work entitled Kokomo, which centers around my immediate family and hometown, a coastal suburb in the northeast that was ravaged by a hurricane in October 2012. Incorporating constructed dioramas, digital manipulation, appropriated family photographs and traditional photography, the work forgoes a diaristic approach to the subject matter, and instead builds an alternate reality over my biography, abstracting the specifics of a personal narrative into an elusive, alien world.
