Dreams, Memories, and Déjà vu

The installation Dreams, Memories, and Déjà vu evokes an encounter with the sacred through display of collected and handmade items. As participants enter the shrine, they are encouraged to share remnants of the artist’s personal struggles with the loss of loved ones. The image of Sugar, a rescue dog and beloved pet of the artist’s family, stands in as a symbol for those who have passed. While inspired by various religious and spiritual traditions, the installation remains open to participants’ own projections, in the spirit of sharing and learning from others.
