Although many people may consider them pests, stink bugs remind me of the many summers I spent with my family up in Northern Ontario as a child: the tall grass and the sunsets, eating dinner with my family, visiting my Grandmother and going for late night ice cream. They are a symbol that acknowledges my reluctant acceptance of the ephemeral and fleeting nature of our existence: where once-fond memories are re-experienced as far and fading, dichotomized by a sense of profound sadness and an impossible longing for the past.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/collections\/jess-bischoff\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollection Jess Bischoff\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.
