Last of Her Garden is a personal visual essay reflecting on my mother’s quiet legacy—the kind that lingers in memory, in habits, in gardens left untended. As millennials, we inherit more than recipes or heirlooms; we carry our mothers’ histories, their silences, their unfulfilled dreams, and the child within them who never got to fully grow. This project is a tender exploration of what remains—both seen and unseen. Through intimate imagery and poetic fragments, I trace the invisible threads between generations, where loss is not just absence but a transformation, and memory blooms where roots once ran deep.
