Abstract

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Artist's Statement
C. Choice (bio)

dreaming towards home is a photographic series that visually explores a transitional understanding of where I want to be or to land—a dreaming of possibilities to navigate big open spaces, the outdoors, trees, and access the subconscious layers of being interconnected to the more-than-human world—always understanding that there is still a yearning for culture, for more Blackness. How do I find who I am and who I want to be in relation to these dreams of both/and—appreciating the stillness and isolation, but always remembering the importance of community and the collective?
