In 2012, I began photographing a series of Roadside Memorials. These markers have always been more then just simple reminders of death, but they also served as reminders of life - family and friends. Each time I visited a new street monument, I began to notice how these markers were less and less like graves, but more as tributes. Some were scattered with relics, trinkets and personal letters, while others were much more simple. Through these observations, I began to see a series of patterns. Patterns that were enriched in culture, much the same as a Pharoh's Tomb. These structures were voices of life, passing and family.  

Over the years, roadside memorials have come under fire; being sighted as a distraction to passing motorists as well as an infringement of religious belief. Many states have taken serious action, making it illegal for families to place these shrines at the sight of tragic accidents. Instead, they are given the option to place a street sign on location for a few months time before they are, too, removed.
