Anglia explores my relationship with Great Britain through rituals of coming of age, death, and my experiences of growing up split between different landscapes and cultures. There are these things that are inherently British, these mannerisms or expectations or ways of life, that I grew up knowing solely through my two parents in the States, until we’d go back to the UK and suddenly I’d be surrounded by these intangible feelings that before I’d attributed to just my family.

Basically, Anglia is a compilation of all the photographs I make when I’m back in England. A lot of the time, I go back just to visit my family, and because I love it there so much. Other times, I’m back there for a specific occasion. My most recent visit, I was there for a funeral, which was the main focus of my camera. 

Anglia serves as an archive for this part of my life that is so humongous but that sometimes I don’t feel entitled, or that I feel like I’m looking into from the outside, because of the fact that I’m not always there.
