Beauty in the most Unlikely Places

Most people that I interact with are not aware that I come from a broken home. During this time, I had gone through traumatic experiences that would have left most people in my position scarred. However, I do not regret my past, for it has taught me that even the most horrific experiences have a silver lining. The places in which I take pictures are bleak, broken, or often overlooked, but I can still find the beauty in it. My photographs are meant to instill hope within the viewer and to see the beauty in everything we pass. I see my hardships and the hardships that have passed in these locations as lovely battle scars.
