Medium:
Lumen Print Photographic Installation
Description:
A photographic installation using lumen prints to explore themes of memory, fleeting beauty, and family heritage. By harnessing sunlight and organic materials, the installation captures delicate impressions that reflect on the transient qualities of personal and familial histories.
Audience Interaction:
Visitors to the installation were invited to closely explore the subtle details and textures captured in each lumen print. Many expressed a sense of nostalgia and personal reflection, connecting their own family histories and memories to the fragile, ephemeral beauty depicted in the prints.
Artist’s Reflection:
This work emerged from personal contemplation of how family memories fade and transform over time, much like the organic forms and delicate color shifts created through the lumen print process. The installation serves as a meditation on the fleeting nature of personal history and familial connection.
