Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage represents the slow and ongoing process of loss by fusing a structured form with strewn-about rocks. Each rock expresses the emotional burden of absence by symbolizing a piece of what is lost. The structure’s stillness highlights the enduring essence of loss by standing in contrasting position to the rocks’ uncertainty. The work depicts loss as a continuous experience that builds up over time and molds the memory of what endures and what fades, rather than as one incident. This piece encourages contemplation on how loss, even if it is silent, permanently alters one’s method of remembering.
