Departure

Made in the Fall of 2018 in a still photography class with Suné Woods with the theme of Water, this project was inspired by the science-fiction writing of Octavia Butler read in the class. This project imagines an alien invasion using the photographer’s own family as characters and the semi-suburban San Francisco neighborhood of Twin Peaks where Miller grew up as the setting. Image juxtaposition and color matching is used to accentuate a dystopian feeling. The images can be read in any order, each telling a different story of abduction and transformation.
