Using video captured through my digital camera, I stitched together a short film containing insignificant and significant moments of my life.

This project was centered around grief. How one will go about experiencing the highs and lows of their life, yet the perception of these experiences can be changed by grief. When we overcome grief and look back on those times, those memories can become rose-tinted through the eye of the beholder.

Grief is simply the mental and/or emotional suffering caused by loss or regret. While my feelings and experiences differ from others’, they all hurt the same. I asked my audience prior to playing my show, to recall a time of grief as they watched it, so that we could all be connected in the same nostalgia that grief brings.

After presenting my light show, some of the audience came to me individually and shared how my show gave them a chance to re-reflect on their moments of grief. Some shared what those personal moments of grief were to me, all of which were a true honor to hear and see how my work can evoke such emotion within people.
