entry description
This series encompasses the lives of these five individuals in their living space and how they relate to it. Crissy in the first image is an avid smoker and she is sen relaxing on her balcony. Marissa in the second image lives in the same apartment as Crissy where they have held countless parties with beer and garbage just strewn about the floor, shelves and tables. Quiana is in a different apartment but similar situation as the other two girls in the sense that they just party their lives away. Not having a care for her own property, spray painting "Do you wanna play?" on her wall. Aaron is a different case, he's a musician that practices in his garage with his fellow bandmates, chasing after their dreams of making it big. Michael also spends his time in his garage yet chooses to spend his time differently, relaxing after a long day at work with a nice, cold beer. This series of these individuals is also somewhat of a social commentary on how American youth spends their time these days. Chasing dreams, giving up on them, relaxing in their solitude, or staying up all night to party with other people. This explores the ups and downs of how the American adolescent psyche can manifest for the best, or for the worst.back to gallery
