The Stories We Keep

When we’re young, we think we’ll live forever. As we age, we recognize the transient and fragile nature of life. In this series, "The Stories We Keep,” I use still life as an allegory for the passage of time. Through the use of metaphor and memory, I have addressed fundamental emotions associated with time such as nostalgia, regret, wonder, and optimism and have come to terms with a personal and perhaps the universal quest to delay the passage time. In asking ourselves what lies beyond these cherished objects, we come closer to connecting with the answers we seek.
