©Lumina – As children my sister and I spent hours in the bush, and by the ocean. After her loss I sought to regain the connection to the landscape that existed in my memory and reflected in our origins, a desire to be clear again in my understanding of it.
The landscape holds an ordering power and in it, reflected back at me, is survival. Survival born from the nostalgia of past and happy
moments, moments now forever altered, yet captured and transformed photographically, that hold in them the depth of love and connection I have for my sister.
My sister was thirty-five when her life was taken. Her future has been lost and the past and our childhood has been altered and affected. The knowledge and weight of our history has only one side now, one gaze, and one recollection. Here I accompany my sister in story, photos of myself as a child mirror and connect with those of Daniela. We break silence together, identities entwined.
