Author Description

Voici est ma Vie is an immersive multimedia installation that forms a nonlinear narrative around the painful but unavoidable human experience of loss through the lens of losing my mother. Through a series of photo collages displayed via projection and on light boxes, as well as a handmade book about my mother's life, I am constructing a contemplative environment that explores unresolved questions surrounding how to navigate memory, grief, loss, and honoring the dead. Central contrasts include subjectivity versus objectivity as well as attachment versus detachment. Central themes span the nonlinear grieving process, catalog as narrative, and an investigative or archival process.
