Mum's Door
In this audio portrait, my landlady, Catherine Castillo talks about what home is to her, and how embellishing her house with her mother’s essence and memory makes her feel home. This piece is titled Mum’s door because the front door to Catherine’s house not only safeguards mum, but also because, just like mum, it safeguards her.
“When my mother passed away, I said, “ there is only a few things I want from this home” . . . I said "I want that picture", because that immediately reminds me of my mother”- Catherine
