A moment beneath a monument

digital print series | 2020 - current

Among these captured moments are color field arrangements, extracted from the moments themselves. These arrangements of pixels, like a digital image’s cellular structure, are the exact geometric centers of each image of celebration and loss. Although we can zoom in so closely that what we are looking at sheds its original meaning, we cannot get any deeper than the literal flatness of the image itself. The viewer scans across the length of the piece, putting each image together, marking time. Zooming in while scanning across reflects the temporal disorientation I have experienced within grieving–the abruptness between a moment’s legibility giving way to abstractness.
