Alicante

In 2015, Fay returned to Alicante after 51 years to find her mother’s grave. She tracked down and visited the apartment where the family stayed and where her mother died suddenly in 1964. She walked in the Rio Seco, the dried-up river bed where the family walked in the early evening. Back home, Fay made a series of drawings commemorating her mother as well as reimagining the trauma of losing her.
