LOOKING BACK
Looking Back
I've reached a stage in my life where the past now occupies a much larger portion of my timeline than the future. As I look ahead, I often find myself reflecting on what has come before.
Life underwent a dramatic shift with the onset of COVID, bringing confinement and uncertainty. As an artist, I turned to my work as a way to cope with this anxiety and sense of isolation. I realized that my focus on aging could serve as a lens to revisit themes I explored in earlier projects: memory, emotions, and the passage of time. This work, which once seemed fully resolved, finished and in the past, could become the source material for the creation of new work. By working exclusively with my existing images to create new pieces, I discovered new connections within these themes and new directions for exploration. These final images are not specific narratives but rather a record of the process of looking back to move forward.
