Memory Exploration
After my mother’s passing, I received a small collection of photos of her as a child and teenager. Looking at these vintage photos, I found myself making up stories to fill in the blanks—wondering what the real story behind each photo was. Since then, I’ve started recreating more family photos in different mediums, like watercolor, oil pastels, and collage. I hope my work helps others feel connected to their own stories, both past and present.
