the leftover snow

To love, to hold, to cherish, to adore, to fall, to do everything, to do nothing, to lose, to accept, to let go. “The Leftover Snow” is a personal story about a breakup with my six-year partner.  This work starts with a roll of film that was multi-exposed unintentionally, which has photos dated back to Taiwan in 2016 and photos taken in New York 2022. I missed the only big snow in New York 2021 because I flew back to Taiwan to deal with the breakup. When I returned, what’s left were the melting piles of snow on the sidewalks.
By re-creating the scene of leftover snow, mixed with images from my personal archive, I intend to capture what will eventually fade away, showing how time, spaces, and emotions will gradually be folded and mixed up as time goes by.
