This project began when I buried a roll of film containing images of my family and objects from everyday life. One year later, I excavated the film and created these photographic prints. The original images had been obliterated and replaced by a series of abstract patterns.

I originally envisioned the project as a sort of time capsule to preserve the ordinary details of my life. It evolved into a meditation on time and its power to destroy not only the things that we create and care about, but our individual existences.
