Being Home - Xray Edition,
Xray Box and Digtial Print, 2023

Being Home, Xray Edition is a photography series that captures the physical remnants of everyday life in a household where elderly care and chronic illness are present. The x-ray reveals the inner workings of the body, while the objects represent the external. In a society where the aging and disabled population is growing, it is essential to maintain their identity, safety, and accessibility by enabling them to stay at home. Physical aids are vital extensions of the body and contribute to the caregiving experience by helping caregivers lift and move care-receivers. These aids become a part of the body and merge with the mind, spirit, and body, symbolizing the confrontation with mortality and the daily lived experiences. They are essential parts of the home and integral to the fabric of the body.
