Childhood Nostalgia (2015), 16X24 inches, Digital Prints
Growing up in the 90's I went through a lot of transitions, especially technology and toy wise. In this series of four photographs, I wanted to show how these memories are still with me, even if not many kids now a days would recognize certain objects, such as the VHS. I have the stuffed animal in all the photographs as when I was I kid I wouldn't go anywhere without my teddy. I shot it from this angle to show size of the objects, especially from a child's perspective. This work can also be seen through two sets of eyes. The first, the idea of nostalgia and the items shown in the pieces and how things have changed, in this case, from childhood to the now teenage/young adult years. The second view can be seen from a child's point of view looking up at the caregiver who is now sharing their childhood items with others.
