Using a camera was once the only way to capture, enter, and ruminate on my memories. When I began searching for photographs I had taken of my father, I realized there were never enough to encapsulate a life. This conclusion has led me to use fragments as anchor points in these visual constructions.
These steps have brought me to consider the materiality — the objectness — of my archives. I physically sift through drawers, files, and boxes, pulling out images that once held emotional gravity. I tear, cut, paint, and obscure, performing the instability of memory itself. Each manipulation becomes a means of negotiating what remains and what inevitably fades.
In doing so, I search for a sense of comfort in what I have and what I may ultimately misplace, transforming loss into a visual process of remembering.
