What remains when we disappear from living memory? When all that’s left are traces and fragments of our existence, how will our lives be pieced together?

These questions arise as I reassemble the life of my great aunt Dr. Annie, who passed away 14 years before I was born. A pioneering spirit, she redefined a woman’s place in the world, yet her legacy feels elusive. All that is solid… reveals how everything exists in a state of transformation, where boundaries between past and present, memory and imagination, life and death, become fluid and permeable.

This work is not an attempt to capture Annie's life in a traditional sense, but rather to establish a relationship with her in the liminal spaces where memory meets imagination, presence meets absence. Through found and created images, and a shifting landscape, I look for the essence of a woman who broke boundaries but left surprisingly few footprints. In doing so, I question not just how we remember, but what we choose to preserve, what we allow to transform, and how we might find new ways to appreciate those who live outside the conventional narratives of their time.
