Image Statement: "Souvenirs" are made from post-consumer blister packaging which encapsulates natural objects to examine our relationship to nature in the face of a changing climate. These fetish-like objects, reminiscent of a Victorian collection, honor what may soon be a memory and emphasize the absurdity of our casual approach to preserving nature.
