God Self
By Kyle Darnell
When I was ten, my family and I moved from California to Missouri leaving everything behind. It was an opportunity for my mom to reinvent her life and by proxy, my siblings and me. Everything was left, from heirlooms to photographs. When looking back, it was as if I was born at ten. Memories faded other than what I remember my brother telling me, but what will always remain missing were the pictures, my proof of existence.
My recent body of work is rooted around this experience and trying to recapture those lost photos and memories by creating new ones.
