My thesis project utilizes personal documentation as an exploration of the different ways in which violence is seen throughout the everyday. While contextualizing past memories of witnessing domestic abuse, the images question how cycles of violence can be inherited from a parent and later seen as a pattern reborn into the mundane. This pattern manifests itself throughout different situations and locations, attaching itself to both living and nonliving subjects as their roles of witness and perpetrator shift within the images. In turn, violence then becomes an entity which is seen and represented in both physical and emotional states of the violent cycle which follows.
