The Static Album is a project which focuses on the layered relationships within my first-generation Latino-American family. In these images, I attempt to define my role within my family’s dynamic, via the camera and flash, embracing the distance and objectivity that comes from viewing our intertwined identities from afar. I’m interested in how legacy is shaped and solidified; not just within the private sphere of the family, but also across generations of immigrant-Americans living and working on Long Island.
