Ellie and Roshana were warmly welcomed into participants homes. Participants were interviewed about an inherited object from someone who had died and sat for a portrait with the object. Portrait, audio, text and bespoke armchairs combine to create an immersive environment for the viewer.

​

Working with individuals, community groups and bereavement charities to take the portraits, What is Left? has been exhibited in empty houses across the UK. The project explores the value we invest in these inherited possessions, both emotional and monetary, and the ways in which these objects mediate our relationships with the dead through memory.
