"Memories of Grandma" is a mixed-media art project commemorating the life and legacy of the artist's grandma and encouraging viewers to reflect on their memories and connections. The project features a series of sketches capturing fond memories with her grandma shared in parks.  The small bottles of soil serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of place and memory in the artist's life. The living installation of moss symbolizes the enduring strength of the connection and is a heartfelt tribute to the artist's grandma.
