Beyond the Orange Shag Carpet

Aging is a unique experience that allows us to reflect on our lives and memories. Beyond the Orange Shag Carpet aims to explore the importance of family as a means of connection and companionship for our elders, as well as the passage of time and the collection of memories. In this video piece, there is a dichotomy between the slow quiet landscapes and the warm intimate interiors of the home. The archival footage acts as a visual representation of memory, begging the question, how does the passage of time change our relationship with our family?
