AARON SWEENEY Aaron Sweeney is a photographer working in South Eastern Massachusetts. His work revolves around the places and people in which he is familiar. He draws inspiration from the landscape of the neighborhoods in which he grew up and finds the examination of places to be important. The feeling of social and physical isolation is an important theme in his work. Portraits of Home is an examination into his connection with the idea of home. This narrative was a way for him to work through his own difficulties with isolation and becoming independent. The photographs in this project aren’t simply about houses, but their representation of home. A house can be an all-encompassing space in which a home is formed, or simply four walls with nothing inside. As humans, we all want to belong to something and feel wanted.
