Diamonds Are Forever, 2011
In 2010 I was offered a photo retouching job with a high-end watch and jewelry dealer in downtown Los Angeles. In the process of working there I began to collect and formulate work based on my experiences. The built-in meaning of much of the work is informed by the location of the showroom itself, near Pershing Square, coincidentally housed within the same high-rise bank building as the immigration courtrooms for the greater Los Angeles area. Some of the photographs included in this project were taken from the company archive of images that I created.
