Jon Pelletier, Position One: Meditation, 1/10, 2025, Fine art print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic 340 gsm paper, 23 x 46 inches, $900. This piece is part of the installation Trace

Structured like a five-card tarot spread, this installation draws on the visual language of divination to invite symbolic interpretation and temporal displacement. "Trace" emerged as a journey through memory and creative discovery following my mother's passing in June 2024 and my subsequent return to Maine. These film-captured images, devoid of digital manipulation, function as metaphors—threads existing outside of time. Though initially unplanned, their deliberate sequencing reveals emergent meanings, collectively mapping both my personal recollections and our shared human experience of loss and remembrance. — Jon Pelletier
