What You Leave Behind is my MFA in Photography final project, the work is a reflective look at consumerism and mortality. Where once items that where left behind to families and friends as an extension of their own self and identity, has today given way to large amounts of ubiquitous disposable products. Individually what do we count as important to be passed down? 

Through the use of typology, the work represents an intimate portrait into the artists own objects, of which a very limited number actually serve as part of the artist's identity. Through the process of sifting the artist challenges himself to choose only a handful of items that are of meaning to him and also to those he is closest to. 

The work invites the viewer to consider the concept of value to that of themselves and the other.
