MY DEAD DAD

The work uses a ViewMaster as an active viewing device, requiring physical engagement from the viewer. Her father’s slides are cut, rearranged, and inserted into the reel, producing a fragmented sequence that must be navigated image by image. This structure echoes how memory compresses and reorders experience, resisting linear recall. By photographing through the ViewMaster lens and reprinting the resulting images, she adds another layer of mediation, emphasizing distance, distortion, and the instability of remembrance.

The project also incorporates recorded voicemails in a spoken dialogue, forming an intimate exchange across absence. Together, these elements frame memory as constructed, recursive, and unresolved, shaped as much by what is missing as what remains.
