Threads of Remembrance

-2023-2025- Threads of Remembrance is a series of pieces created in reflection of the loss of my Papa, Wayne Delapp, my mother’s father, to whom I was very close. These works explore memory, time, and personal connection through collaging, photographs, and objects, weaving together fragments of the past to honor his presence and the impact he had on my life.
