In my body of work titled "Missing Sister," I examine the way photographs can become integral evidence of a person's existence by showing the evidence of someone's absence. In Susan Sontag's ubiquitous On Photography she writes, "A photograph is both a pseudo-presence and a token of absence. Like a wood fire in a room, photographs... are incitements to reverie." In this project I gathered evidence of a family member who tried to erase herself from her own family's history - first by literally erasing herself from family snapshots. The photographs in this project are jarring, mysterious, scattered evidence from various authors from both in and outside of the real story, suggesting the disconnect and displacement from a family ancestry. Exhibited in an almost sterile way - the work is deeply fragmented, without orientation, though the viewer can feel their core nature is profoundly personal. In the end, this collection of photographs only scrape the surface of this complex woman, and both the viewer and myself are left feeling unresolved.
