body of work
bring this to auntie
to never really truly know, to never really truly see the face of what we bury
chopsticks and spoons fall to the beat of temple drums
when will we next see this warm place
my memories were made 20 years ago in the hands and feet of my mum
In a distant land...
thank you!

to never really truly know, to never really truly see the face of what we bury expresses a series of short reflections left in the wake of the passing of a loved one. The work quietly contemplates ideas of the afterlife and reincarnation in Buddhism, an answer unknown of, and the grievances held in the memories of past relationships.
Translation:
‘Are you a bird in a tree’
‘Did you receive my gifts well’
‘Regret’
‘Is there an end to the fortunes we whisper’
‘Do you remember me in death’
‘Do you know the shape of these answers’
