The Heart Stays Still (2024-2025)
The Heart Stays Still depicts the collaborative efforts with my parents in slowly transitioning to our new lives after the divorce, and tells the story of accepting new realities. With my mother moving into her own place and learning independence, and my father moving into a house with another family and forgiving himself, I am creating a new beginning for myself and with both my parents.
My parents were guided to input their ideas into these photographs, combining each of my parents’ artistic choices with mine and showing their individual lives. This collaborative experience between me and my parents slowly helped me accept the reality of my family, and become hopeful for this new life. I hope my audience can see themselves in this work, and find solace in their family life.
More to come soon...
