Marija Kanavin
We are born and we die and in between we lay trails of stories within the web of our existence. I seek to reflect upon the stories of the ones that came before me. Through my own experiences and relationships with the people, places and objects directly related to the traces recorded through my family tree I consider my connection to my family, their experiences and how they have influenced me.
