Hannah Aust

Thesis Project

Hannah Aust uses photography and video to explore the warmth and nostalgia of family and home. Through visual storytelling, Aust conveys the depth of familial bonds and the significance of cherished moments. Using film and digital photography, she focuses on the mundane yet joyful moments. Photographing family is a way for Aust to express visually what she can’t always say verbally. Aust is encouraging viewers to reminisce about their own meaningful encounters and create a personal connection between the viewer and the work.
