AFTERLIFE: ACTS OF PROVISION

Afterlife, Acts of Provision examines the persistence of care after loss. Structured as three gestures 

 

I — What I Could Not Give You,

II — What You Once Gave Me, and

III — What Remains Between Us

 

The series re-stages paper offerings as acts of continued provision. Photographed in isolation, these fragile forms exist between presence and absence. They reflect a child’s enduring impulse to provide, where care no longer reaches the body, but continues across distance, memory, and time.

What I Could Not Give You.

 

What I could not give you then,
I offer now in paper.

What You Once Gave Me.

 

I remember what you liked.
I set it down carefully.

What Remains Between Us.

 

I keep your place, though you no longer arrive.

AFTERLIFE: ACTS OF PROVISION

Some acts of love do not end.
They only change form.
