HERE AND THEN

The urge to remember and the agony of forgetfulness. Putting old family photos in their place of creation is a way of returning back to those years of childhood. However, one cannot but compare what has remained unaltered and what has ultimately changed since then.

​

This project was my first attempt to work with my family archives and renegotiate with my past. Through this process that I went through returning to my birthplace, I came closer to my origins and my identity as a daughter and sister. At the same time, I realized my current transition of letting behind the girl I was and becoming a woman.
