Into My Own

A series of paintings based on the artist's personal photographs taken in adolescence at the turn of the 21st century.

"The places we have known do not belong solely to the world of space in which we situate them for our greater convenience. They were only a thin slice among contiguous impressions which formed our life at that time; the memory of a certain image is but regret for a certain moment; and houses, roads, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years."

—Marcel Proust, Swann's Way
