Two men in suits sharing a moment with an older woman in a wedding dress, likely at her wedding, with decorations and flowers in the background.
A bride in a white wedding dress and veil looking into a mirror, with two children sitting on a dresser in front of her, one wearing a pink shirt and the other with a white shirt and dark hair. Religious and portrait posters on the wall behind.
Group of men standing near hanging chickens in a slaughterhouse or meat processing facility.
A man with dark hair, wearing a dark sweater with white stripes, sitting on a military vehicle, resting his head on his hand with a serious expression. The vehicle has a mounted weapon with ammunition belts, sandbags, and a cloudy sky in the background.
A girl in a red sweater feeding a lion through a chain-link fence at a zoo.
A young boy hanging upside down from an adult's hands, laughing, while a girl sits on a couch in the background smiling. They are indoors with a patterned carpet and large houseplants.
A woman and a young child sitting on a blanket outdoors, sharing a meal. The woman is holding a spoon, and there are shoes and a plate with food around them.

In an era driven by an insatiable libido for creation and production, the contemporary landscape is saturated with billions of daily commodities and images-imagery generated without the promise of visibility, and goods produced in the absence of necessity. In response to this compulsive surplus, this work renounces the act of generating new imagery. By intervening in the domestic archive, the project extracts vernacular fragments from family albums, subjecting them to a process of unhurried selection and re-assemblage to construct a new narrative.
