          The project Southern Barbershop is a story of cultural preservation in the American south. The project offers a closer look into the timeless aesthetic feel of the classic barbershop as more than strictly a service but a social space to converse, reminisce, rejoice and bring community together. The imagery talks about self-representation, individual transformation, and how altercation of hair and fashion can act as a form of ritual and revival. Savannah, GA. 2018-2019
