Seeking to uncover how our relationship to familial ritual changes as we age, we reconstruct and repeat small acts that embody our connection to our parents to examine how our relationship to these actions shift as we grow further away from their origins. What sits in the weight of absence and what is said in silence? “Did you bring a jacket?”, “Have you eaten???”. The happiest I’ve ever been unpacks how we attempt to connect the past to present by repeating old rituals, suspended in time.
