Student Narrative
Seas Away explores the process of sorting through the belongings of my late grandmother, who lived across an ocean for most of my life. This book explores the strange experience of discovering someone anew through the items left behind, through the spaces they once inhabited. Through its structure, Seas Away mirrors this labor of untangling memories and grief, and the struggle to pack them all up again.
