Daughter, Asha Hall, and father, Nick Hall, create work regarding themes of the passing of time and mortality with different lenses; from Asha’s perspective, the thought of growing up brings fear and reminiscence for simpler days. The younger artist leans on photographic archives taken by Jagoda, her mother. These images contain uneven compositions with entirely unintentional cropping and lighting - something that Asha leans into when recreating these images to provoke nostalgia. Nick, on the other hand, uses his body of work to come to terms with his mortality and in turn find beauty in it. Through observing decaying flowers, Nick finds tenderness in the wilting and rotting, an element that he uses as a metaphor for his own aging, as well as the rapid change of the world around him. Both bodies of work can be seen in conversation; Asha’s end expresses her fear of the unexpected and longs for what has been, her father visually responds, echoing comforting reassurance about the future.
