we are each other’s acknowledges our precarious future by reimagining the mundane through the lens of loss. Salem Smith’s trinkets, iPhone photos, and notes app love letters become protective talismans constructed from wrapping paper and bright patchwork images. Smith employs screen printing to tile together large images to mirror his fragmented yet whole sense of his own gender and belonging. Intimate household objects act as offerings to explore how love, death, and transitioning intersect, drawing on concepts of past lives and ancestral veneration. This work, both a celebration and a preemptive grieving, imagines the space as an altar to love itself.
