In my photographs, I explore issues of privacy, anxiety, and the (un)intentional sharing of personal information. Generally informed by social media and other internet communities, my work highlights the information that is available in these spaces and how we as humans interact with them. By using images and information that viewers may associate with the intimate, such as homes and bedrooms, I ask questions about the reality and possible repercussions of using contemporary social media platforms and the Internet.
