This work is part of the second phase of the Collective Memory series, called Collective Memory-Routes and Areas. It delves into the influence of our travels on our collective unconscious. These multiple exposure photographs document travel along a route or within a specific area in an attempt to record what the eye doesn't see but the mind retains; subliminal markers of public information, from the ubiquitous buildings of corporate chains, to temporary car wash signs and monuments of long forgotten war heroes. These everyday experiences become part of the collective unconscious, informing who we are as individuals within the greater society. –Artist statement
