Carly Goldstein is a photographer based in New York whose work explores memory, family, identity, and inherited space. Through photography, archives, and personal narratives, she examines how people leave traces of themselves behind through objects, photographs, traditions, and environments.

​

Living with a connective tissue disorder has shaped the way she thinks about connection, fragility, and preservation. Across her work, photography functions as a form of connective tissue. Linking absence to presence, family history to the present, and internal experiences to the visible world.

​

Rooted in observation and personal history, her photographs focus on the emotional weight carried by everyday spaces and the fear of what might disappear if it's not documented. Her work considers how memory survives across generations and how images function as a personal record and an act of preservation.​​​
