The mirror tells a story of our past, who we remember ourselves to have been.

The lines and creases tell me I was once young.  That I was once somewhere else.  Once someone else.  Photographs do the same.  We think of them as documentary objects, but they only capture a slice of a moment.  Years later they exist as questions, not documents.  Did we really look that way back then?

I’ve tried to capture that feeling of nostalgia and age in these photographs.
