Rachel Jump's "Origins"

Rachel Jump is a Chicago-based photographer. Her recent series "Origins" depicts Jump's attempt at piecing her family back together. She spent her childhood in countless households, which led her to develop a "fragmented idea of home." Later on, she began questioning how her identity was shaped without a point of origin. She photographs this series in the hopes of reconnecting her family by taking the photographs in the same places that divided them. 

Jump's series is composed of black-and-white intimate images. Her images create the sense of searching, such as the photographs of the figure holding the lantern and the figure looking out of the window. She also uses fog and blurry pictures to create a sense of the unknown.
