This project depicts my evolving and complicated relationship with my dad. In 2019, he took his life a day after his birthday, suffering from clinical depression. By photographing places he inhabited and my family's life over the past 2 years, I captured both tangible and intangible aspects of him. My dad was a dedicated runner and hiker. He was well-versed in humorous anecdotes, a comic book enthusiast, a skilled cook, an artist, and a devoted family man. We shared a deep friendship, discussing anything, and I received unwavering support. Through this project, I process grief and anger. While I'll never fully heal, I've taken a step closer.
