Holding My Breath
Fracture. Silence. Exhaustion.
This series grew from an observation of a family member's crisis. It became my way of working through this uncertainty, not to explain or resolve it but to give it visual form.
The diptychs combine archival and present day images, analogue and digital. Movement, fabric and light recur throughout, obscuring as much as they reveal. The process of making and pairing became my way of processing - moving between thoughts, visuals and words.
I am drawn to the space between the images and the very personal interpretation of what is seen, what is felt and what is imagined - a reminder of how limited our understanding is of another's experience.
Holding My Breath does not speak for another person or offer resolution. Instead, it sits with the difficulty of understanding, of communicating across that distance and staying connected despite it. It remains open to the unresolved, the unseen, and what might evolve in the space between.
