“The Scent of Time“ reflects my continuous struggle to understand the insistent nature of nostalgia tinted by the history of exile and the knowledge of genocide. In my everyday life I attempt to combat the forgetting and my own trivialization of history that time and distance only exacerbate. I believe that the history in which we are implicated should be an ever-present force on our consciousness and personal choices. Through the work I aim to clarify and reflect on that fundamental belief.
“Scent of Time” was exhibited in 2009 at the Kansas City Artists Coalition.
