Briana Earl's visual research examines personal experiences surrounding homesickness and nostalgia. For most of history, nostalgia and homesickness have been linked together, even though they differ. Where we come from is an integral part of our being, but what we become nostalgic for also shapes what we become. Her work explores the idea of photographs existing as a substitution for memory and how photographic manipulation can change how we remember events. This allows viewers to invest a part into the transfer and reconstruction of these personal memories. Earl's work challenges us to focus and appreciate small moments we are surrounded by and how they shape our outward attitudes and understandings of what we consider home.
