Memento

Memento

Objective: To create a memory using three materials

Artist Statement: When I was ten, my Oma took my brother, my cousins, and myself to the Cornell Glass Museum. Once there, we all ran off to explore but I found myself still with my Oma. We began talking and somehow got on the topic of her living through the Holocaust. This was the only time in my life that she has ever even mentioned it. The memento I created encompasses my Oma, as well as the Glass Museum. I wanted to create something that embodied my Oma, her kindness, yet her strict and hard exterior, as well as the Holocaust. My final result was a piece of resin, resembling glass, that is filled with flower petals and ash, resembling my Oma and the horrible atrocities that she lived through.
