i'll remember you not as you were, but as what you'll become

i’ll remember you not as you were, but as what you’ll become is an ongoing series that speaks to themes of grief and renewal. The work draws from Sky Hopkin’s tribute film for poet Diane Burns entitled I’ll Remember You as You Were, Not as What You’ll Become. The film focuses on markers of time and place to form a vivid meditation on mortality and reincarnation. A play on words on Burns’ title, I aim to ease the often intruding thoughts of loved ones right before death by focussing on where their energy lies after passing, outside the current socio-enviro-economic state.
