Crash and Burn Along the 101 is an ongoing body of work about my move from Colorado to California. Combining photography and writing, it follows a coming-of-age story shaped by instability, violence, loss, displacement, and survival. Much of what this work explores comes from experiences that have been difficult to explain through conversation alone. The photographs on these walls are my attempt to communicate those experiences while also documenting my own process of self-discovery through photography. The story unfolds across California, most notably along Highway 101, while returning to fragments of my past that continue to shape the present.
