Just the Essentials

Just the Essentials is a collection of contemporary portraits built from the everyday. Through weekly shopping lists and photographs of refrigerators, the publication explores how people navigate daily life and express themselves through the things they buy, keep, and consume. These objects can often reveal insights into a person's routines, values, relationships, and living conditions. By bringing together these personal inventories, the project captures snapshots of everyday life, showing how a shopping list and a fridge can tell a story far beyond their practical purpose.
