Collection Box Series

This project is an ode to the strength and endurance of the USPS as a democratic institution, shedding light on its army of collection boxes as more than mere functional objects. They stand as tangible representations of the ties that bind communities together. Often overlooked in our daily rush, these blue boxes carry the weight of countless personal and public histories. From love letters to mail ballots, they are silent witnesses to the stories of our lives, providing a crucial service that transcends mere function. They symbolize continuity and connection in an ever-changing world.

Each photograph tells a story of a neighborhood, a moment in time, and the enduring spirit of connection that the USPS fosters across Miami-Dade County and beyond. As you turn these pages, I invite you to look beyond the utilitarian exterior of these collection boxes and appreciate them as enduring symbols of community and resilience.
