Project Heirloom

 

In her project "Project Heirloom," photographer Elaine Melko captured portraits of American families, unveiling the rich tapestry of their heritage through treasured heirlooms. The images, along with interviews conducted by writer Frances de Pontes Peebles, offer a glimpse into diverse ancestral narratives, linking the past to the present in a personal yet universal exploration of identity and belonging​.
