I Can’t Stay and I Can’t Come Back
Site-specific installation exploring a domestic scene of mortality. This installation chronicles the moments immediately following the death of the mother, the long cared for parent. The death bed and those left bewildered by the absence touches on the stark reality and transformational power of losing a parent.

What was the color of your loss?
How did you get so large and so small in the same breath?
It is you I will always mourn for.
