“The grass is always greener on the other side” is a
phrase I never understood until I reached “the other side”. I spent seven years
of my young life, with a boy who never cared for me like I did for him. I was
finding myself thinking more and more about what it would be like in an equal
relationship, where love and happiness were plentiful and vast. After the
break-up, and several months of self-reflection, I have realized that I finally
found the greener grass, and I want to give him back what he has restored in
me. The window frame represents the barrier to the “greener side” and the dirty
glass represents the fog that was hard for me to see through in my past
relationship, and the open frames represent the clarity of the way I am seeing
now. The butterflies represent all of the things that I want to be able to give
back to him in the future. This photographic installation is a visual
representation of my want to give back to the person who has changed my life.
