SOUND OF BUTTERFLY: Back to Heaven
“Back to Heaven” offers soft, blurry images of old photographs of my mother. Selected from my family albums, the pictures are re-photographed and printed on rice paper. The rice-paper prints are stored in water, then washed and dried repeatedly until the images grow dim. I then placed these prints outside during snowfall. The prints were photographed again, this time just as they began to disappear under the fallen snow. The process was a metaphor that helped me understand the cycle of life and fading memory.
