My work in photography and video explores notions of family, memory, and loss through portraiture, rituals, and observations of daily life. My family’s cultures, Cuban and Lebanese, are central themes within my work, often using the homes of my maternal and paternal grandmothers as the setting. As a second generation American, I observe the details of their homes, feeling like a foreigner at times, even though I have known these places nearly my whole life. I have photographed in the home of my maternal grandparents extensively, documenting their daily lives. It shows different generations as they grow and age, rituals and practices that have now been left behind, and the life that continues after the loss of a family member. In making these images, I piece together a visual narrative of an immigrant family, while connecting with my own identity.
