Lamentation
Wax, tears.
Lamentation was created from an old photograph of the artist and her twin sister as children. Their image was carved into a block of wax as a concave relief, creating a shallow vessel within the surface of the material.
The artist collected her own tears and poured them into the carved forms. For a brief period, the tears filled the image before gradually evaporating, leaving the surface empty once again.
Created in memory of the artist's twin sister following her death, the work reflects upon mourning as an ongoing act of remembrance. The tears appear, remain momentarily present, and then disappear, mirroring the ways grief repeatedly surfaces and recedes over time. Through a simple yet deeply personal gesture, the work transforms a private experience of loss into a quiet ritual of remembrance, acknowledging both the persistence and impermanence of memory.
