dolores
︎︎︎This ongoing archival project began as a personal tribute to my grandmother, Dolores "Dee" Dumo, after her passing in 2023. In gathering photographs, recipes, stories, and mementos, I found a way to stay close to her and process my grief. Over time, this act of remembrance grew into a deeper exploration of memory, identity, and preservation. Inspired by my Grandma Dee’s legacy, I’ve since begun archiving the histories of other family members and friends’ families—documenting the lives, joys, and quiet resilience often left out of official records. This work is about honoring the everyday and making space for the stories that shape us.Emmett Amos
