Reconstitute
Statistics show that children between the ages of 3 and 5 that experience divorce tend to believe they are
responsible for the divorce. My parents divorced when I was 4 years old. Since then, my mom raised me and my sisters,
reminding us everyday that my father left because he didn't love us. Because of the emotional stress put on my mother,
raising three kids on her own, I have a hard time remembering the happy parts of childhood. My mother suffered from
severe depression while I was an adolescent which caused her to cast aside all things relating to my father and their life
together. One of the things that was forgotten about was about 30 rolls of film taken throughout my life ranging from before
the divorce up until my mother's second marriage. After developing the rolls of color film, I was awoken to a life I forgot I
had, or never even knew I had. From these images, I began making multiple exposures that summarized my childhood, the
parts I remembered and the pieces that were missing.
