Miami, 2018
The Home project explores the life of Ana and Julio Serrano, a Puerto Rican couple who moved to Miami in 1962 with their two sons Julio and Anibal. They bought the house on 25th street and would remain in this home until their last days.
I got in touch with Anibal to commemorate their story and the life of this community. Julio and Ana where a beloved couple, by their extended family and neighbors. They celebrated big parties and get togethers. Anibal recalls one Christmas where two hundred people came to their home to play music, eat and dance. The house is the last standing on the street, a neighborhood remembered by the Serrano family as a lively and vibrant place.
This project intends to underline the changes our generation has brought to the area and our communities generally. The area is now largely developed and gentrified as an arts district and is growing to other neighborhoods like Little Haiti and Overtown.
This is a tribute to the story of this home and neighborhood. Intending to celebrate and preserve the lives of the everyday families from the past and embrace the ones we still have in our present.
