4. A Letter To You Documentation This video presents documentation of my installation "A Letter to You," as well as the full footage of the installation - which is a loop. This is an autobiographical installation investigating my memory of my grandma before she died from cancer. It explores the intense pain and beauty of life and death, including the process of healing through immersive experience in water and sound. The piece was initially designed to fit the architecture of the original installation space, but as it is shown in other spaces, I am interested in seeing it develop in the context of other architectural elements. It can now create arches, opening doors of possibility, where there once stood walls.
