This project originated as a deeply personal journey—a way for me to process and work through the trauma of losing a few individuals who meant a great deal to me. In navigating this grief, I’ve found healing through the integration of imagery from both the past and present. These visual elements serve not only as memories but as threads that weave together the story of my life.

The people we encounter leave lasting imprints on who we become; they shape us, challenge us, and contribute to our sense of self. By juxtaposing moments from different time periods, this project reflects on the enduring presence of those we’ve lost and the ways their influence continues to echo into our present and future. It is both a tribute and an exploration—of memory, identity, and the human connections that define us.
