What Do We Do with What’s Left Behind?
What Do We Do with What’s Left Behind? explores loss, care, and what it means to remain in a time of profound social, political, and ecological change. Through assemblage and altar-like works, I create spaces to name loss and make room for it, inviting us to consider mourning as something shared rather than solitary. Built from found objects, air-dry clay, and other tactile materials, the altars shift toward preservation—toward what remains, what endures, and what we fight to keep. Together, the works suggest that grief is not only personal but collective—social, political, and ecological—and that mourning can be both solitary and shared. Grounded in the handmade and the tactile, these works slow the impulse to move on, offering moments to pause, reflect, and imagine care as an active, communal practice. Rather than resolving loss, they ask how we might honor what has been irrevocably altered while carrying what remains forward—together.
