2021 has been a year of loss for me, & I want to make sense of my life that commutes back & forth in the loss. I think dreams do that job for us; they help us comprehend the subjectivities of life, but I am someone who doesn't have dreams or doesn’t remember them. Can I create my dreams from family photographs & memories? This project is an attempt to delve into my childhood, my formative years.

Nostalgia is bittersweet, identities derive from memories, and photographs are memories. We visualise our past and imagine our future because imagination is that pond where dreams come true, and we can be reborn. But before I do that, I need to ground my reality in something concrete, and this work has given me a launching pad to propel my imagination to rebirth.
