Everybody's Hometown
(2025-26)

The borough of Media, located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, has been coined "Everybody's Hometown" for its neighbourliness and small-town feel. This collection of photos seeks to emphasize the romanticisation of suburbia, a prominent topic of conversation surrounding Media and towns like it. However, many of the photos are taken with ambiguity. Sections of colonial-style houses mixed with Media's unique moments allow the work to remain known to insiders while mimicking many spaces along the East Coast.
