Over Blue and White You Laid is a reflection on time, memory and change. Having experienced a multitude of living situations in the past four years, from living alone to with roommates, or with family, the constant state of packing up and reinventing the environment that surrounds me has been both inspiring and isolating. The state of impermanence always leaves behind a bittersweet taste.
I look forward with anticipation to what’s to come, but with a great nostalgia too for what was before. This project yields as an emotional mirroring of the continuous changes of adulthood, and the unknown that surrounds us all in our twenties.
I have been navigating this nonlinear terrain where fragments of memory are left behind in the walls, and doors are closed shut for the last time. Each moment that passes us is fleeting; even as I grasp to hold it tighter, it will always slip through my hands.
If it were up to me, I’d let each moment linger a little longer, and keep every light from sliding through the cracks. But everything that surrounds us is in a constant flux. Those evanescent moments are what expose these emotions.
These images reveal the solitude that follows us after every change, and the hopefulness that inspires us to love the ephemeral.
