Loss is a force that reshapes everything. It carves out an emptiness, an absence that lingers in spaces once filled with presence. Losing anything can be painful, but losing a loved one, especially family, leaves a void that words often fail to capture.
As a photographer, I have long sought to understand the weight of grief through the lives of others. But now, loss is no longer just something I observe. It is something I something I carry, something I feel deeply.
This project is my attempt to document that void, that emptiness.
Through my lens, I seek to document the echoes of absence, the echoes of those who are no longer here, the quiet weight of longing, the way their absence shapes the ones left behind, the quiet ways love endures despite loss and the ways people navigate life after loss.
This is a story of remembrance, a testament to love, memory, resilience, and the spaces we hold for those we have lost. That even in the emptiness, there are traces of those we’ve lost, proof that their presence, in some way, still remains.
