Research or Curatorial Dossier.

My documentary practice aligns with the mission of our contemporary visual language by engaging photography as both a critical and socially responsive tool. My current long-term project examines post-industrial communities in the U.S. Northeast, tracing how deindustrialization reshapes landscapes, labor, and intergenerational memory. Combining large-format images, oral histories, and vernacular archives, the work foregrounds how residents construct systems of care and resilience amid economic instability.

Grounded in sustained engagement, I approach subjects collaboratively, emphasizing transparency and ethical representation. The project situates itself within a lineage of critical documentary while questioning fixed narratives of decline, instead revealing nuanced, lived experiences.

Within interdisciplinary context, I aim to expand this work through dialogue, critique, and curatorial experimentation—exploring how documentary practice can activate public discourse and reimagine the relationship between image, community, and institutional space.
