Surrounded By Natural Causes” by Casey Joiner
Casey Joiner's photographic exploration, "Surrounded By Natural Causes," delves into the interplay of grief, identity, and familial bonds through a lens tinged with the essence of New Orleans. Rooted in the documentary tradition yet influenced deeply by her Southern upbringing, Joiner captures the peculiarities and struggles of life with a profound affection for the slow rhythms of existence.
"This project," Joiner reflects, "began its narrative long before I consciously embarked on it. Amidst the ebb and flow of everyday life, navigating the complexities of long-term illness and the eventual loss of a parent, I find myself drifting into a dreamlike state." Her photographs serve as documentation and an introspective journey into the vagaries of memory—both faithful and flawed.
"Surrounded By Natural Causes" invites viewers to confront the seeming absurdities of daily existence, questioning the reliability of memory while embracing the solace found in imagined scenes that fill its gaps. Joiner's evocative images become an ode to resilience, capturing moments where reality and reflection converge in poignant harmony.
