This photograph takes inspiration from conversations with my father during the final year of his life, as he battled and surrendered to total blindness—not complete darkness, but a shifting perception of abstract shapes and colors. With his impairment and my own partial vision loss, we found common ground in the fragile ways sight persists. Our talks often returned to his youth, lost love, and growing up on a farm with little money. Using a modified camera lens, I translated his descriptions into images that blur form and dissolve clarity. The work reflects how vision loss reshapes memory, grief, and resilience, while opening space for new ways of seeing—and for remembering the past. Image description: Abstract photograph featuring soft washes of pale blue, muted pink, and gray. Colors bleed and dissolve into one another, with faint light veins crossing the surface. Shapes are indistinct, blurring into a field of shifting tones. The effect evokes the fragility of vision and the way memory and sight dissolve into color rather than fixed form.
