“Crumbs of light, crumbs of childhood, crumbs of us. Nothing stays whole. But everything that falls can still be gathered into a poem to outlive the chaos.”
“Crumbs” is an attempt to hold onto what inevitably fades. Through a series of poems and photographs, the work gathers traces of fleeting moments: childhood slowly drifting away, ordinary gestures filled with unexpected grace, brief fragments of light crossing bodies and landscapes.
The work moves through motherhood, solitude, impermanence, and the tenderness of things slowly being lost, while searching for the quiet poetry hidden inside the ordinary.
“Crumbs” does not tell a complete story. It gathers what remains of it, like quiet evidence that beauty exists, just before it disappears.
