Parallels (2021) critiques the societal pressure put on women to settle down early or to fill a specific role in a family dynamic.

In these images we play into this role with obvious discomfort, subverting the traditional wedding picture. Our act of resistance is our visible disdain for the role we are playing.

All images shot with Portra 160 and Portra 400 120mm film.
