What does it mean to haunt a home?
In the last 7 years, I have struggled with anxiety while being away from my home. This feeling of agoraphobia was allowed to take on a life of its own with the sudden required isolation of the pandemic. In this project, titled There Is No Home, I return to the theatrics of 19th century spectral photography as both the photographer and the photographed. In these images, I explore identity loss through domestic isolation. Taking influence from narrative depictions of haunted houses, the 19th century spiritualism movement, and early photography, I create photographic evidence of my own haunting. I’m looking for danger within the comfort, and comfort within the danger.
