Fly Over Landscapes
(2021 - Present)
Fly Over Landscapes questions what happens when our parents are no longer present in our lives and the new landscapes formed over time and faded memories. Through the grief, resiliency takes hold, and new life is breathed in, created from the depth of loss and sorrow. A glimmer of hope leads us forward.
When my father was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, I began an 18-month journey flying from New York to the Midwest to be by his side during the last days of his life. Each flight was more heartbreaking than the previous; I consoled myself by photographing passing landscapes beneath me.
After his passing, alone in my memories, I began to layer the landscapes, using collage and overpainting techniques, revealing my personal journey of the healing process, and transforming this traumatic experience into something bearable to live with. This work seeks to celebrate the beauty and sorrow, the ever-changing landscapes of our closest relationships, and life itself.
