Remembering Margarita is a short film, accordion book, and found objects that are collected memories from my grandmother, Margarita’s, last year of life. Videos of ordinary moments and asked questions show the life that she lived in Los Angeles, California. Clips from the video are placed in the accordion book with captions to give an intimate look into these moments of love. Found objects once owned by my grandmother are an extension of her personality and habits. Remembering Margarita is a shrine of reflections and recollections of the women who will always inspire me.
