Malif Miff Moff is a photographic project confronting the bitter-sweet, complex and overwhelming juxtaposing experience of loss and grief.

Using the imagery of gas masks alongside the absurd yet playful photographic style helps to depict the disconnected, suffocating, and complicated feelings those of us are often left with at the loss of a loved one. With over 20 hand-printed black and white images composed of family members and meaningful objects, the scattered display demonstrates a visual representation of the messy processes involved in digesting this reality.

Combining the senses of smell, sound, and sight with the use of perfume, music and quotations, and the inclusion of images taken with a 35mm Olympus family camera, the project showcases personal references of nostalgia and explores the concept of legacy.

Malif Miff Moff celebrates the impact of the lives once lived, whilst being pushed to work through and face open wounds.
