Statement
_Distance Past_ explores the concept of migration and transience in the everyday. Told through three stages of movement––departure, stasis, return––this thesis visualizes an ever-shifting landscape of change for the individual, in the physical and the abstract. Through a morphing floor projection, a book of objects and stories, and a series of memory paintings, _Distance Past_ constructs a narrative around patterns of movement and memory in a world driven by people constantly on the move.
