For What It's Worth 

“In front of the photograph of my mother as a child, I tell myself: she is going to die: I shudder…over a catastrophe which has already occurred.… Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe.”

~Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida, 1980



 For What It's Worth is a series that takes a deeper look into the catastrophe that lies between a memory and a photograph. There is a deterioration that inherently occurs to pictorial memories throughout generations. My body of work studies this deterioration and rejection of unfamiliar faces that once adorned family albums and personal collections.
 

       My series is a form of restoration. Working with photographs that have been released from their family albums, I reveal written mementos. By doing so, I establish new relationships, reconnecting the memory to a once discarded image.
