Wearing the pearls your mother gave me
2022-2023

Arranged chronologically by date and time, this film was created working backward through memory. The photographs, taken amidst a breakup, revealed how solitude permeated the space even in the moments spent together (whether in person or over the phone). Each image captures the physical and emotional distance that defined the relationship. Typed thoughts and a brief phone conversation evoke the impending sense of loss.
