HANDBOOK OF FRAGILITY (2024)

The starting point was the memory of my grandmother’s moves and the items she collected in various places. These objects function as time capsules: evidence of loss, displacement, and attempts to maintain stability amid constant change. Engaging with these objects became a way for me to make sense of my own experience.
 

In my practice, I work with visual narratives at the intersection of personal and collective experience, focusing on memory, loss, migration, and corporeality. I combine archival materials and found images with poetic staged photographs frames in which the body appears as a vessel of experience as well as with spontaneous fragments of everyday life. The project can be viewed as a non-linear essay in which the experience of forced migration is woven into the narrative through bodily practices and repetitive actions. Personal rituals become tools for working with memory and trauma, marking states of transition and allowing one to capture the fragile boundary between loss and transformation, alienation and return to oneself
