Grief and Joy

Grief and Joy began as an exploration of my profound fear of loss. Using the photographic process of cyanotype in unconventional ways, I "paint" with chemistry and light to create incomplete figures suspended between connection and disconnection. The images in Grief and Joy explore the complexities of motherhood and the delicate balance of giving parts of yourself to those you love while striving to maintain a sense of self. Through these fragmented forms, the work reflects on attachment, vulnerability, and the tension between holding on and letting go.
