Within our intimate spaces, the past and present coexist in the form of the objects we associate with different stages of our identity. Their presence is not only physical, but our emotional attachment to our valuables creates a metaphorical weight⁠ that possesses the gravity to reshape our life. In this series of images, I draw connections between aspects of stellar dynamics and general relativity to my relationship with my past identities and how they are physically defined within my current life.

The light radiating from these objects is a reflection of who we once were, as the stars we view at night are a reflection of what the universe once was. The universe, much like our world, is changing at an unimaginable rate. Our perception of our identity is only as accurate as our last introspection. It is almost impossible to consciously exist in the present.

As the world continues to challenge our perspective, we look to the ever-present stars for solace.
