I Love You. I Miss You. Have A Good Day.
2020-2022

“I Love You. I Miss You. Have A Good Day.,” is titled after the short phrase I would say to my mother before she left for work — words that have now become something of a prayer for me. This series of photographs examines a rich and gentle narrative of family kinship, the inevitability of aging, and the will to move forward:

“My father is a handyman.
He can fix anything around the house.
He has a stern face.

My mother is a hairdresser.
She cuts our family’s hair in her small salon.
She has a gentle face.
A charismatic woman.

They are my world and more.”
