Eden Revisited is a project about home through which I am exploring how people, place, and community inform one another. While this project is specific to the Salinas Valley region of Central California, it addresses issues that have universal relevance to our shared human experience. How do our values as individuals evolve from the communities within which we live, and how do the geographic characteristics of a place impact the ethnographic makeup of these communities? The Salinas Valley presents a unique opportunity to explore these questions and I have chosen to use my visual storytelling skills to create a photographic narrative of the ways in which these concepts converge.
