Remember What You Forgot (2026) centres on a moment of transition, two days before the beginning of chemotherapy. The work reflects on what it means to face a profound change without framing it as something to fight or overcome.
At its core, the piece shifts attention away from what is being lost and towards what continues beneath the surface. It questions the instinct to hold on to form, identity, or control, and instead considers the possibility of remaining present within change.
The work proposes a different understanding of strength, but as the capacity to stay with uncertainty, to allow transformation to take place without fully knowing its outcome. What appears as disruption on the surface can also be a process of deepening, of moving into parts of ourselves that are less visible but more stable.
Rather than offering resolution, the piece holds a space for reorientation. It invites a reconsideration of where continuity lives when familiar structures begin to shift.
