This photo was taken in my family’s dining room, of the cabinet we use to store our most “important” (at least in the sentimental sense) china and glasses. The pastel cups and teapots are my parents wedding china, accompanied by an assortment of wine glasses and other pottery that holds emotional importance to us. I chose to photograph this as my faceless self-portrait because it is a visual representation of my family, which is a massive part of who I am. Within this cabinet, numerous milestones in my- and our overall family’s- history are represented, creating a visual testament to my story. From my parent’s wedding, to my “special teacup” from when I was was younger (visible in the bottom right corner), every object within this frame holds significance in regards to my identity.
