DEAD PARENTS’ THINGS

Dead Parents’ Things explores the emotional resonance of everyday objects inherited from the artist’s parents. Presented against soft pastel backdrops and paired with restrained fragments of text, these items—once ordinary—become charged with absence, memory, and unspoken meaning. Each object functions as a quiet witness to personal history. The series examines how material things can hold grief, trigger memory, and transform into symbolic markers of identity, loss, and love. By isolating and re-presenting these objects, Dead Parents’ Things asks how the material world shapes our understanding of the past—and what remains when the people we love are no longer here to tell the stories themselves.
