On January 17, 2010 my younger brother left home without word or warning. Most of his clothes and possessions remained, and his room still appeared to be lived in. Months went by before anyone, friends or family, knew where he was or that he was even safe. His notes, clothes, poetry, journal, miscellaneous objects and the images on his wall were nearly all we had to remember him by. The events and issues surrounding and leading up to his sudden disappearance inspired this series of photographs entitled Home.
