Yours

September 2017. Collage on found objects, ink, and organic materials.

Yours is a series that explores a memory box’s ability to encapsulate a certain period of your life. In these, various objects, drawings, letters and knick-knacks provide an intimate look at the individual whose memory box it was. When digging deeper in the memorabilia, one finds a series of unopened letters. When you read it, you realize that the letter is addressed to the sender’s older sister. As you continue, you learn of the sender’s emotional journey in her freshman year of college as she grapples with an experience of sexual assault.
