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 inherited traits like trauma, mental illness, beliefs in social institutions, cultural constructs, and norms. Imagery gleaned from art historical references and the day-to-day highlights moments representative of a collective memory and explores how they subconsciously construct our realities. By challenging the division between memory and immediate experience, imagery functions as an interpretation of place, memory, and stories that endure beyond its specific time. My work explores the impact the simplest elements can have on our understanding of systems, shifts in consciousness surrounding social institutions, cultural constructs, and inherited norms, and our own identity within them.
