Shrouds
Shoruds is an exploration of the intersection between memory and haunting. Featuring shrouded figures photographed at notable locations in and around Buffalo, NY.
The project started with Halloween, with that seasonal thinness when the membrane between presence and absence gets acknowledged openly. But it grew into something else. These aren't portraits. There's no face, no identity, no subject to connect with. They're disruptions. Anonymous figures dropped into the comfortable and the everyday, making the familiar briefly strange.
