In witnessing my father’s struggle with cancer, I learned to question the delineation between hospital and home, encouraging my exploration of environments in which the two are inexplicably bound. In recent years, I have observed and interacted with the community at a local nursing home. This series addresses the irony inherent in the facility’s merging of hospital and home through an emphasis on disparities of light, texture, and action. Together these photographs provide the audience an opportunity to experience ordinarily inaccessible perspectives, each a result of my personal involvement with the community, in order to acknowledge the human tendency to create comfort and sanctuary in the presence of entropy.
