A Song Someone Sings

A project exploring migration, memory, and the beautiful fragility of things we mark as central to our identities. A tension between clarity and loss is expressed in a series of cyanotypes, created by the slow passage of time, retaining the absence of their subject. The collection originates from the shared Toronto experience of crossing an ocean and inhabiting one’s culture amid distortion and reinterpretation.

The fluidity of the material allows movement and chance to influence the discovery of the images, while evoking the transplanted domestic world. Reassembled in repeated motifs, the pieces reference the precariousness of memory and search for kind perspectives on a subject that we risk defining statically.
