"Coping Mechanisms" (2020)

This is the second of a new, growing series that explores coping mechanisms alongside portraiture. As much of my work considers identity, I find myself drawn to comforts and vices that help normal people get through their day.

Here is an image of my mom grabbing a sloppy burrito and a styrofoam cup of Folger's on her weekend before running errands. I think critically about work culture and it how inhumane the demands can be.
