Description
Lend Me the Past reflects on our longing to rewrite painful moments in life. When we lose someone or endure hardship, it’s natural to wonder - what if I could go back, make different choices, or change the outcome? If only the past could be “lent” to us for a moment, perhaps those we’ve lost would still be here, and regrets could be undone.

But time rarely heals as we are told it does. More often, it leaves us learning to live with the weight of what cannot be changed, carrying both grief and the dream of what might have been. This work is about that tender, human desire: to borrow back the past, if only for a while.
