It Felt Like Yesterday (2023)
Life can be a peculiar thing with its paradoxes. One day you are experiencing the purest joy – the next, mourning a loved one. The heartache caused by death is sometimes the hardest to overcome, and yet it is an inevitable part of the human experience we all come to welcome into our lives. To live is to die and be remembered. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, where my mom’s family lives, this project looks at the absence and presence of people and memory. “It Felt Like Yesterday” serves as a memorial for loved ones who have passed and as a celebration of the enduring relationships that are still physically present. Through this project, I navigate mourning, remembering, and reflecting on the universal experience of life, death, and the passage of time.
