Vestiges of Memory aims to explore and uncover the deeper experiences and emotions encapsulated in the physical objects that are left behind, following an auto-hermeneutic phenomenological approach.

The series of photographs display a range of objects passed on to the grieving through inheritance and in life to two daughters. They are remnants that had retained their sentimental value through fifteen years post-death, enough to survive multiple moves and drastic life changes.

Grief is not just a mental process that you are entagled with, I emphasise that it is also bodily, and therefore necessary to physically engage with the objects surrounding grief, ie. objects left by the deceased.
