From the memoji mori series (lost little girl), 2024
hand-embroidered archival digital print of found snapshot
Since childhood, I’ve been “making friends with death,” knowing it can come to anyone at any time. In my memoji mori series, I hand-embroider skeleton hands—guided by emoji gestures—into found family photos. Dia de los Muertos, with its exuberant embrace of life and death and its omnipresent skeletons, has long inspired and consoled me.
