Being in a time of this unpredicted worldwide pandemic, it seemed that 2020 was a year filled with unforeseen situations or events one after another.  I was particularly impacted by an event deeply.

My grandpa was one of the closest people in my life. I grew up spending many weekends with him. He loved to capture photos and home videos of his family, documenting every “special moment”. The unexpected passing of him was a shock to me. A wave of emotions emerged. I felt guilty and regretful because I was distracted by adapting to the new norm and lack of attempt to maintain the strong bond. 

Recently, I reflected on many moments with my grandpa, especially those that took place months before his passing. There is a timeline of special moments shared between my grandpa and I. It was distressing to come to terms with the evident fact that my grandpa and I lost touch as the pandemic took over. I asked myself a lot of difficult questions which I have never acknowledged prior.  After my reflection, I was provided with a lot of sweet and bitter moments between the two of us, which provided me a lot of peace.   

“Last Moments” was a journey to find peace. I invite the audience to experience the challenging passage to find the answers to my inquiries. I hope the audience can experience the journey of my reflection through the questions printed on the mirror. This experience has taught me a very valuable lesson. I found myself being more aware of friends and family and checking in on them by calling. I will cherish every chance I have to connect with people that I care about in my life. We never know when our “last moment” may be.
