IPG Project - The Switzerland of America
The Switzerland of America challenges the notion of a true visual representation of a place. The collection of images that makes the project was taken in the state of New Jersey.

New Jersey is no longer known to be the...

Through photography I am exploring these unique subsections that form this complex environment. I am observing and recording these characteristics to better understand the makeup of my surroundings. I am interested in learning why particular locations are given...
