Q. What do you think your room says about you?

-Looking back at my room series photos, I think about what a mess I had, but at least the mess was a mixture of cool stuff like Kirby, the weights, and Zapata portrait. 

Q. Do you think your future room will have the same qualities as your room now?

-Yes and no. No because I’m not always going to have a mess because messy things make me more sad than I need to be. Yes because I’m still going to have cool shit in my room.

Q. In some photographs, I may have asked you what items or pieces of your room meant the most to you. Why did you choose those items? What connection do you have with these objects?

-The only reason I grabbed the AK-47 was because I couldn’t bring my truck or find my nunchucks.

Q. Did you clean your room before it was photographed? I gave no instruction to clean or prepare your room in any way. If you did choose to clean it why? And if you didn't choose to clean it, how come?

-I was in the middle of a deep clean that day, which is why my room was a mess.

Q. Are you home often? (if so, why?) Do you spend the most time in your room or elsewhere?(if so, why?)

-I like being alone in my room the most, I spend a lot of time on my balcony, which is probably the best part about my room.

Q. Would you say you're proud of your room? Do you feel like it suits you well? (alternate question: Do you feel like it is a good representation of who you are/how you project yourself?)

-Yeah I guess I’m pretty proud of my room, I’d be more proud if it was painted a color like black or purple or dark green. But yeah, I feel like my room represents me pretty good, it’s basically just a room filled with a bunch of weapons and clothes.

Q. How do you feel about where you are in life right now? Are you content with how everything is going and how you are portrayed?

-Yes and No.

Q. What genre or groups do you think you belong to?

-Anything I want.

Q. Do you consider yourself a social person, or do you fall somewhere in between social and antisocial? (explain)

-I guess I consider myself to be both; it just depends on what kind of mood I’m in.

Q. Why did you want to be a part of this series?

-Because it seemed fun and you always make me look good.

Q. How do you think you'll react to these photos later on in life?

-Beautiful nostalgia.


Did you have any following statements about your room? Anything you want people to take away from these photos?

-Hit me Up / Don’t Live to Live / Kick it
