Para Ti, Con Amor

Entitled “For you, with love”

In 2021, I lost a total of four family members, two of which were my grandma and my cousin Eric. I was very close to them, and the loss of them really greatly affected my mental health and overall outlook on grief and my interaction with it. Music was their favorite thing, and I had a lot of songs that reminded me of them that I simply couldn’t listen to anymore because of the memories I would reminisce in.

In order to heal and embrace their memory, enjoy in music and life at the time again, I created coded motion graphics that react and move to the beat of the song played in them. As part of this project, I created an in memoriam website where I’ve compiled all of the code alongside stories I have of my family members. In hopes of helping others heal from similar circumstances, I’ve included a testimonies tab so others could comment and share their own grief should they choose to. The first three are dedicated to my cousin Eric, the others are dedicated to my grandma.

Here is the website.
