Artist Statement
Images of suburbia are a ubiquitous metaphor for
nostalgia and the myth of the American dream.
Growing up moving around the Eastern US, the
American suburbs were the backdrop of my childhood.
These seemingly identical neighborhoods existed no
matter which county or state lines my family crossed.
This made suburban homes feel reliable yet, in a way,
inescapable. In this way, my art takes a critical look at
the gap between the promise and the reality of the
American dream and suburbia.
