Through this work I am trying to capture pieces of my grandmother\u2019s life and relate it to my own. I want to understand myself and how I am influenced by my culture. I am trying to document it in a way that is as honest as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I used family photos of my grandmother as prompts for writing. This collection of short essays is very loosely based on my grandmother\u2019s experiences. I focus on my own story as told through writing and art. I also incorporate quotes from other people that are relevant to the message. I am using a wide variety of media to tell a story.<\/p>\n<p>I want to document some of my Grandmother&#8217;s stories while she is still around to tell them. I find the photos themselves beautiful and intriguing. But, there is also a rich story behind each one that would otherwise be forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>As this project has developed I have found that the individual stories behind each photo are linked in some way. I identified and explored themes relating to society and my identity.<\/p>\n<p>I want to understand why I am the way that I am. I am doing this by trying to understand my own family and culture. I am realizing that I am only skimming the surface.<\/p>\n<p>This is a series that I plan to continue as I move through different phases of my life. Right now I am a young adult and this is what is on my mind.<\/p>\n<p>-Haley Nelson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I understand why I am the way that I am, by reflecting on my grandmother&#8217;s photos?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":1804,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories","tag-story","aesop-entry-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1803"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1832,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1803\/revisions\/1832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jolineblais.net\/tributaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
