The images in this series serve to highlight the vast differences of architectural styles used in residential areas. Each unique house acts as a facade that reflects the different tastes and preferences of those who live in them, without giving any other glimpse into the lives of those that dwell inside. The personalized aspects like the paint color, mailbox style, and landscaping make up the many facets that go into the overall curb appeal of the houses, and directly embody the personality and identity of the person inside. While these physical characteristics serve to create an image of those inside, the house itself ultimately acts as a barrier to prevent the onlooker from fully understanding the inhabitants. By photographing these houses, each different architectural style acts as a visual metaphor for the unknown person that resides inside, and it is up to the viewer to interpret who that person may be.
