Early 2018 I worked with Army Families that live on site in the UK. Attending youth club for a number of weeks I was a part of the core of the camp, the community centre. During this time the army moved them to a new building, number 57. This building is half the size of the previous community centre, forcing them to get rid of most of the possessions, due to limited storage. Power is something that most of the youths I’ve worked with feel they don’t have. Often a military child will move as frequently as six months to two years. Loosing out on education is a big issue that affects them growing up. This move took away one very important consistency in their life. Building 57 was a series attempting to give power to the members of youth club I worked with. Exploring the greater picture of living within military life through portraiture and architectural imagery I want to give power to the youth of army communities.
