Whitehead Road

Each person has a unique attachment to the house they grew up in. Personally, I am extremely attached to the house that I spent the first ten years of my life in prior to my parent’s divorce. However, I was intimidated to revisit the house because of how it had inevitably changed since my family moved out eleven years ago. With this project, I went back to the property for the first time and explored the yard, the woods behind the house and the field across the street. The absence of the physical house in these three pictures represents my hesitations in calling it my own anymore and illustrates how the process of moving on from this site of my childhood is still in progress.
