An advocate for the small and forgotten, the displaced and discarded, Ruth aims for her work to be an unspoken narrative. Her images are surrogates for events not yet experienced, an invented symbolism to express our desire for significance in the everyday. Ruth's pieces represent the intangible story of our sentiments: our keepsakes and souvenirs left behind to become part of someone else's narrative. In capturing these elusive moments and half-remembered objects, Ruth weaves a structure of loss and hope that connects us to those who come after.
