Acts of Remembrance
I believe that there is a place where our vanished days secretly gather. The name of that place is memory.”
~ John O’Donohue, Anam Cara
There is a fascinating history of our attempts at preserving what we cherish, often seen in the keepsakes we create. A photograph, a locket of hair, a dried bouquet, an intimate letter or postcard, a new born’s handprint. Creating these objects keep us tethered to a place, a person, or a moment, acting as bridges between past and present. Tangible connections to help us remember. This series, “Acts of Remembrance”, references common attempts at holding on.

This gallery of otherworldly, delicate portraits further immortalising these anonymous individuals.
The photos, stripped of the context in which they were taken, leave us to read what is revealed in a facial expression or posture, compelling us to search for an essence that hints at a personal story, a story of which we can only speculate. while reminding us that the most meaningful treasures are often transient. €275.00 plus shipping PURCHASE AND INQUIRIES
