The inspiration for the collection comes from unexpectedly losing a loved one too soon.
When I was five years old, we suddenly lost my uncle. I believe that even though our loved ones are gone from the physical world,
they are still close by and we can feel them near us.
I feel like they guide us in the right direction.
They come to us in dreams.
When I look at the stars, there is a connection between me and my uncle. Our loved ones are gone, but not
actually gone. They are part of the stardust and the universe. We will meet them again. It gives me comfort.
Each cyanotype is made in an experimental way.
I use different spices and take inspiration from the stars, planets, and galaxies.
I hope my Stardust collection brings comfort and reminds you of the connection we will always have.
