This piece commemorates both the artist's mother and grandfather. The original photograph represented in this work was captured by her grandfather. This image is a portrait of Amadi's mother at the age of about 16 or 17, and is the muse for the entire piece. The overall color story is reflected directly from the original photograph, using physical features of her mother, such as skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Amadi invites the concepts of remembrance and healing, along with her ideas of pixelated memory in this woven image. With the use of transparency film and color brings a ghostly presence to the work. This piece was created to honor the 5th year anniversary of her mother's passing, while also keeping the existence of her mother's innocence remembered.
