adaptations is a self-portrait reflecting on changes in my personal life during my twenties and the ideas of home. Using childhood photos from a family vacation in South Dakota, there is a focus on memory and nostalgia. I sent postcards to myself, indicating a personal move across the country. Wax obscures these memories and the viewer must take time to experience the images. These artifacts are meant to be held and experienced, evoking melancholy. These objects act as a surrogate of home, holding my feelings, thoughts, and memories.
