• The images for the show all stem from 6 historic Jacksonville images. I remade each image with people who are currently shaping the future of Jacksonville in a similar fashion to that the originally displayed people were doing. After the modernized version of the image was captured, a series of images ensued of “what would have happened after the original image was taken”, giving each character a life of their own.
