Easter
C-type print
I draw on my personal experience and memories to expose difficulties arising from differences between people caused by their immediate environment, experience and history. Coming from a family with a variety of cultures and nationalities, I utilise the relationship I have with my relatives and my immediate family to analyse how adaptation, gesture and belonging impact on our perceived identity. I highlight complications that arise when identification fails – when our idea of ourselves does not correspond to our environment, family or to the image others have of us – and the impact this has on wider societal structures.
