Tear Project
2021-2023

Continuing my experimentation with the preservation of grief, I became fascinated with tears. A biological reaction that represented so much more than a bodily function within the context of loss. They are ephemeral by nature, much like photography, and so I set out to collect them like I do images. By crying onto ph-sensitive papers whenever my grief would surface I made quite a small collection showcasing the frequency and controlling nature of grief. This was then paired alongside these unsuspecting landscape photographs of the San Fernando Valley.
