Half-Way (Collages)
Half-Way to the Rail Station in the Hot Summer Weather
This series is the second part to the elegy to the lives and deaths of my great-aunts who perished in the Holocaust. These collages consider why some of my family immigrated to the United States and some stayed behind in Poland and the consequences of these fateful decisions. Using original Life Magazine issues spanning the years of World War II, these pieces explore an unanswerable question through the collective memory and forgetting of the family; often directly referencing stories and photographs from the family archive.
