Each of the silk and resin works in the exhibition is titled after a song or film. I chose famous American romantic-crime films where the two protagonists are on the run, head over heels, and against the world. My parents used to listen to the songs on the playlist throughout my childhood, when it felt like they were most in love. These songs invoke immense feelings in me and encapsulate the sentiment of the show most accurately. There are certain songs that can make you travel in time, taking you back to a specific emotional memory. Certain songs can simultaneously trigger overwhelming beauty and pain. The word "nostalgia" is formed by a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "homecoming," a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain" or "ache." I understand the word to describe the feeling one experiences when a particular core emotional wound is activated, a historic ache that comes from a deep longing to return to a place or moment in time. For me, nostalgia is the trauma of the awareness of the passing of time and its inevitability. Time is a place you can never go home to. Time is something you can never have. I think songs can approximate what once was a personal present. These songs are like photographs to me. I can listen to them and come into contact with a past emotional landscape while concurrently experiencing the loss of it, again and again, on loop.
