The Forest Remembers
Artist Statement:
The Forest Remembers imagines memory as ritual. Each balloon here is not playful it is funereal. They mark the unseen, the unspoken. I wanted this piece to feel as though you’ve stumbled upon something sacred, or perhaps forbidden a path through grief disguised as wonder.
There is no clown here, no child, no body. But you know something happened. And the forest remembers.
This piece continues my study of childlike artifacts as haunting relics, exploring how the innocent becomes mythologized through fear, repetition, and time.
