Things Can Never Be Like This Again
by Wyatt Dlouhy
Wyatt Dlouhy is a photojournalist and student at the University of Iowa pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography. Dlouhy began learning how to photograph just as his father began cancer treatment. His project Things Can Never Be Like This Again is an ongoing body of work grappling with how illness alters a family and the future. Dlouhy began documenting this experience while he was still learning to manage the spectrum of feelings that arise from watching a loved one suffer. These photographs capture the darkness and isolation Dlouhy experienced during his father’s treatment. The title of this project is simultaneously an observation that the events leading up to the present cannot be repeated, and a plea that he never has to witness his father endure the disease again.
