Personal Statement:  My vision for this photographic series was to create a thread of images focusing on the maternal lineage in my home.

Anemia restricts your body’s ability to absorb proper nutrients, mainly iron….Continue Reading Project 3: Fainting | Dizziness While Walking

For this project, I chose to create a photo series about fainting. I have a condition which causes occasional fainting spells. The goal of this project is to produce artwork that portrays how dizziness and fainting look from my perspective.
