"My photographic works lie on the intersection between collecting cropped compositions from daily moments and staged experiences with collaborators. Through gathering images for three years, I recognized that the approach I photograph is distilled from the way I process my experiences. For instance, when I look back on an occurrence, I don’t see faces or narratives but a small detail like the missing shard of glass from the mirror during this year’s Halloween party. My practice focuses on archiving materials and assembling them to reflect the nature of the way I see, and introspect, and how the process of curating can create new experiences.
Unfinished Epilogue explores the experiential quality of the photographic medium. For me, recollection is related to the process of creating. In other words, the act of looking back & reflecting activates the mind to search for fragmentation of information, which becomes the source of creativity. By montaging cropped compositions of mundane daily occurrences and staged narratives that makeup how I experience the world, I aim to connect the fragments from my memories to form a web of new information from lived experiences. Unfinished Epilogue seeks to provide these visual interludes for viewers to look, recollect, and discover the intricacies of the interconnectedness of their lived experiences through a personal lens."
