Americanized is a photographic project using AI-assisted erasure to remove figures from domestic interiors. Working from personal archives, it explores assimilation, authorship, and how images flatten individuality through absence.

Working from scanned family photographs, Americanized removes the central figure and shifts attention to what remains: furniture, objects, stains, celebrations, and gaps. These spaces become quiet stand-ins for the people who once occupied them, revealing how identity is formed through repetition, environment, and what is left unspoken. Presented as photographs and installations, the work treats the domestic interior as both evidence and inheritance—an archive shaped as much by absence as by presence.
