The Brothers / 2009-2010

The Brothers is a series of photographs documenting the expulsion of the aged members of a religious order from their home on the grounds of a former military hospital. Only five men remain, and all but one has lived there for over 60 years. The project is an investigation of these men and their relationship to their surroundings, the rituals they adhere to, and the spiritual community they foster both among themselves and in tenuous connection with the outside world.

This was a private encounter, involving trust, intimacy, apprehension and feelings of isolation. My photographs attempt to document their current lives through representations of the physical spaces they inhabit.
