A burning memory

 

For the final project of this class, I chose to do a collage of old family photos. I have never been to close to my extended family or knew too much about them but my mother has so many old photos of her side of the family. Looking at each photo makes me feel such a weird sense of sadness and lost because these people that have brought my family to where they are now are alienated from me within my mind but also at the same time I feel so close to them. Its a strange sensation I wanted to incorporate into an image. 

These were just a few of the images my mother happened to send to me/the ones I used in my project.
