your absence Is a 13'9"x7'7"x8' structure that resembles my childhood bedroom. this piece examines feelings of hurt and abandonment contradicting those of care and longing. Letters are written and hung throughout the room which creates an atmosphere of vulnerability.

This process of healing has been depicted through the material of gauze tightly wrapped around the structure to physically resemble healing wounds. Working through these conflicting emotions has left me desiring to communicate these feelings to find the idea of “me too” and a shared understanding with others.
