On January 6, 2006, the police were called to my house in Cortlandt Manor, NY. My paranoid schizophrenic father was out of control and we were in danger. My mother, grandmother, sister and I needed to go. We moved 100 miles away to our Sag Harbor house. Life was, to say the least, distracting. Through abusive visitations, and always being wound up in the drama, I found myself needing to find my niche, my passion; something I could dedicate myself to. I discovered photography and golf to be two of my favorite things. I got my first camera when I was 12. I started going to car dealerships and taking photos and making informational videos and tours of cars. I posted them on YouTube, and all of a sudden I had a decent following and a small fanbase.

Even before that, I have a memory of this sketch of my family stuck on the fridge for years and years. Once in high school, I threw myself into the art program and experimented with sculpture, acrylic paint (the only medium I ever hated), oil paint, collage. Through these projects, I used the artistic process to better analyze myself: my motivations, my fears, my dreams. I built a portfolio based on the exploration of identity. I love being capable of translating life into a graphite reflection, drawing portraits and creatures and still-lifes.

It was a beautiful fall day, with a crisp breeze floating across the land.

Normally I’m not one to talk of my issues. I felt that they came from a place of weakness, and I never wanted to be perceived as weak. Instead, I’ve always been known as the kind of person who could crack a joke, make others smile, and always be there to help an individual in need. Couple these aforementioned positive things with my grades, and people assumed that my life was in pristine condition. However, no one knew of the problems I dealt with personally.

was invincible. I wanted to leave a legacy. I tried to accomplish the extra-ordinary but sloppily weighed the pros and cons of my decisions.

Sporting my favorite Levi’s, a black tank top indicating a rampant obsession with a specific band, and a choker necklace, I am dressed edgier than my habitual school polo and khakis. I find repose in this outfit, as the usual pressure to look prim and polished dissipates. The vast stretch of people behind me all dress similarly, hum the same songs, gush over the same album release as we collectively yearn for the doors to swing open. We immerse ourselves in, live for, the same music; this is where I belong. Before I realize it, I’m already crushed between throngs of others, unable to move more than an inch in all directions.
