Home is a Memory






Home is a Memory is an ongoing series documenting my hometown of San Francisco. Motivated by sentimentality and pride, I began the project as a way to capture the lost margins of the city where I grew up and to centralize its significance and role as a vital organ of the urban sphere. It has since evolved into a collection of vignettes of San Francisco as it exists in my (imperfect) memory, expanding inward from the city’s outer fringes to include its inner niches.
The resulting body of work is a bittersweet amalgamation of light and shadow, dead ends and ghost shops, fading facades and empty spaces, all that hint at the rapidly changing environment of a city I love and will always call home.
