What remains of me

What Remains of Me explores the ephemeral and transformative nature of identity and memory.
This series conveys the idea that even the most fleeting elements of our existence, though altered or consumed, carry a silent memory within them. Burnt paper becomes a witness to a process of dissolution and reinvention, where the remnants materialize what remains of us—between presence and absence, erasure and persistence.

Through meticulous cutting and transformation by fire, Nan examines the tension between impermanence and endurance, memory and disappearance. Each small rectangle, holding a fragment of time or a memory, becomes a narrative unit where the material itself bears testimony to what endures after disappearance. This approach embodies the notion that destruction and reconfiguration can be forms of resilience and regeneration, with the fragmented traces forming a poetic cartography of existence.
