06Sea of Blonde

Photography, Sculpture, Found Items

2024-10

In creating Deep Blonde Sea, I was drawn to the emotional landscapes that form with the objects we carry and the memories they anchor. I wanted to explore how personal artifacts, often dismissed as mundane or peripheral, are integral in shaping who we are and how we remember, forming memory networks with retrieval cues. Using found items and hair, I assembled shards of my personal histomįry into a cohesive yet open-ended environment that can feel deeply familiar. Hair, with its complex, layered, and interwoven nature, became a compelling mediums for me—an intimate reminder of transformation and time, guided by the poetic belief that "hair holds memories," I wanted to form a material connection between memories, objects, and self. The process allowed me to navigate the emotional weight of these artifacts and in doing so, deepens the possibility of continually reconstructing meaning from the traces we leave behind.
