Statement
“PARALLEL RESONANCES”
In my photographic research, I embark on a visual journey that delves into the intricate connections between memory, forgetting, and the family archive. By focusing on the women in my family, I open a window through time.
This visual dialogue between different eras creates a narrative that challenges our perception of time and invites us to explore the continuity of our personal histories.
Through each image, I invite viewers to reflect on the ways in which time and forgetting shape our perception of memory, and how these visual fragments help us construct and understand our identity through an ongoing process of reconstructing and reinterpreting memory.
Yet, over time, these threads of remembrance may unravel, wear away, or even disappear entirely. I seek to reveal how the archive itself can gradually fade, just as our memory does.
