The Buck and the Cardinal is a conceptual photography series taken while staying in Protection, Kansas visiting my partner’s family. The series explores the things left behind that celebrate his grandfather’s memory. The series also depicts the stillness that often comes when a person dies and a part of their life remains, like a museum for family and friends. The space not only shows me a man I can only know through stories or what he left behind yet, simultaneously, gives me a way to learn not just about him, but the family that grieves him and how those traits flow down from generation to generation.
