The Continued Flight

Photographic Installation | 2026

The Continued Flight is a photographic installation exploring the changing bonds among three generations of women—a grandmother, her daughter (the artist), and her granddaughter—through geographical distance, dementia, death, and remembrance.

The work unfolds through three sequences. The first presents the daily video calls that sustained a connection across continents. The second documents the artist's final seven days with her mother in China, when Alzheimer's disease had eroded recognition and communication, while gestures of physical care remained. The third follows the artist's journey to Japan carrying her mother's portrait, fulfilling a promise she had made during her mother's lifetime.

Three airplane photographs mark transitions between places and stages of the narrative. Moving between photographic presence, physical absence, and the continued act of remembrance, the installation considers how relationships are transformed by distance and loss, and how care and connection acquire new meanings over time.
