When my grandmother moved from Japan to the United States she left a lot of her history behind. She sacrificed her culture to protect her family following the events of World War II. Remnants examines a photographic archive of my grandmother’s life in Japan. Focusing on the imperfections on both sides of these photographic objects, I am looking at how they have aged by being handled over generations. By pairing the photographs with my mother’s memories of my grandmother, I strive to better understand her and her legacy, and ultimately myself.
