Some American Dream is a cross-country photo project made during a six-month road trip in the year the country reopened. Moving through small towns, cities, and back highways, the work traces the strange mix of revival, tension, and celebration that marked that moment. It’s intended to be my first book-length monograph: a portrait of America back in motion—restless, hopeful, and trying to find its footing again.
