My work expresses the remnants of daily existence through visual artifact. I explore connections with common objects, found or inherited from family, to preserve relationships and depict the intergenerational lineage of traits like trauma, mental illness, beliefs in social institutions, cultural constructs, and norms. Collective memory is represented through images gleaned from the mundane, pop culture, and especially visual elements used throughout the history of art. These images function as connectors of place, memory, and stories that endure beyond a specific time and serve as a reminder of how they subconsciously construct our realities. My work explores how these reinterpretations offer a shift in our understanding of social institutions, cultural constructs, inherited norms, and our own related identity.
