Untitled (IMG_2139.jpg)

I projected this image onto a wall and constructed a workable surface with sheets of paper. Piece by piece and line by line, I brought the digital photograph back into the physical world. Untitled (IMG_2139.jpg) revisits a sweet memory, playing with medium, style, and color to create a new experience of the moment. My mom celebrating her 66th birthday, rendered in various shades of blue, sits in a pocket of both joy and grief.
