“The Family Imprint” is an intimate story of my family, as my parents underwent parallel treatments for stage-four cancer. The story is about life and love more than cancer and death. In a sense, it reads and feels like a scrapbook—and is filled with decades of saved loved letters, keepsakes and other clues about our lives, enriching the larger story I had been photographing for a few years already. The project, which was formally known as “Cancer Family, Ongoing,” has been published nationally and internationally, receiving international awards and recognition. Additionally, the work has been featured in multiple pieces in The New York Times.
