what remains after all is forgotten (2020)

This project constructs a personal mythology at the intersection of fact and fiction, weaving together archival photographs of my family with newly staged images of my daughter as my alter ego. Through this intergenerational casting, memory becomes both subject and material: a space where past and present collapse into one another, and where lived experience is re-imagined as narrative.

By inhabiting the roles of daughter, mother, and inherited memory simultaneously, the work explores how familial stories are transmitted and transformed. The resulting images operate as fragments of a reconstructed lineage, intimate yet speculative, questioning what is remembered, what is projected, and how identity is shaped through the stories we tell about where we come from.
