METAMORPHOSIS

On November 18th, 2021, my grandmother passed away after battling Covid 19. This body of work has been an outlet for my grief as well as an exploration of death itself. I hoped to photograph her apartment and her belongings, but a few weeks after her passing everything was gone. The shelves were all empty, the pillows from her bed were removed. What was left was her jewellery, her icons, and a grave to visit. 

 

Using experimental darkroom techniques, the unexposed parts of photographic paper symbolize the metamorphosis of my grandmother from a being to a memory.
