From The Middle

From The Middle is set in New England, where I photographically explore my relationship with my older brother Chris, my lifelong connection to intellectual disabilities, and the passing of time from childhood to adulthood.

This photo series has taken many shapes since its inception in 2020. Initially, the work was focused solely on my older brother Chris’s athletic journey with the Special Olympics. It then evolved to documenting his life as a person with a disability. But after time making these images together and independently, I realized this project is also about our shared sibling dynamic, the passing of time from childhood to adulthood, and a connection to the land of the New England landscape being a supporting backdrop to our history.

From The Middle is a deeply personal and life long endeavor for me, as I am the middle child in a unique familial dynamic. I want to continue documenting this subject for decades, shaping and building the work to truly show its evolution as time moves onward.
