Faith Couch

My work does not exist to debunk previous stereotypes, but to offer alternative realities. I seek to make imagery that is time agnostic, affirming the possibility of their existence for a time where they would've offered more positive affirmation to their respective time period. My preoccupation with love in all of its forms has led me to pursue the creation of my own cinematic experimentation using the medium of photography.

 

I think of this realm as series of Black memory landscapes or geographies, in which I can map themes of intimacy through familial relationships, romantic relationships, and friendships between Black people. I therefore synthesize both archival and contemporary imagery, to further dissolve arbitrary barriers and engage in discourse surrounding the lineage of Black people being observed and depicted.
