Gallery
When I’m Not Around is a multimedia collection of pieces from 2019-2023 that explore the artists’ intrapersonal reflections on the desire for solitude and the tangibility of grief. The theme of these works is a longing to understand and navigate these aforementioned feelings, this is conflicted with the fear of actualizing them. There is a reservoir of emotions and memories that remain untouched, isolated within the psyche. When I’m Not Around offers a glimpse into this peculiar space.
