Time Capsules
The creation of my garden was to memorialize a bond I once had with my late father. This bond is a core memory that I had shaped my life growing up and the person I’ve grown into.
Working in a sculptural and installation method of storytelling and world building, my works aim to be a time capsule. The idea of working with fast-flying creatures such as butterflies, holds a significance to a moment frozen in time and symbolically if time could just stop for me have another moment with my father.
In love and loss, we will always wish time to rewind. By creating this collection, it has brought me closure to my grief and my ability to open up and share my bond I had with my father. I wish I could spend one last trip to the museum with him, but time moves on and by making my own exhibits our bond will be encased in it until the end of time.
