Nostalgia Triptych Series
"Originally created for the cross-continental exhibition Site Effects , the Nostalgia Triptych uses a common symbol, the US military dog-tag, to reflect on current affairs. Steel’s capacity for strength and longevity is countered by its susceptibility to corrosion. The work was inspired by this quote from Hala Alyan’s book Salt Houses :
Nostalgia is an affliction. Like a fever or a cancer, the longing for what had vanished wasting a person away. Not just the unbearable losses, but the small things as well. The seashells filled with bobby pins. Photographs, necklaces, the glasses and silver given. You cannot forget them in your grief." Rebekah Frank
