Brea Souders was born in Frederick, Maryland, and studied photography at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. 
“As an American with typically mixed bloodlines, I started this project to explore the many places in Europe where I have ancestry and their influence on me as an artist and a person. The images in this series have emerged from my attempt to unwind the conflation of my lineages and to get to the center of my thoughts and feelings about freedom and rootlessness, culture and cultural amnesia, and above all a desire to connect to something more profound than the modern American experience.” – Brea Souders
