Description
"This project aims to explore, in my opinion, the most challenging period of my childhood, the beginning of a new chapter: puberty and the early premise of adulthood.
It also serves to reflect the behaviour that my family and I revert to every time we return to our home: we eat the same foods, drink the same drinks, read the same books, go to the same places and superficially appear to regress back to the people we were before we left.
Yet we can never be the same people we once were.
No Man's Land is a transition, a journey through habits, identity and nostalgia, relationships and insecurity as emotional tools. The home here is a confidante that has watched us grow and blossom, a vessel bursting with memories.
Rather than working solely off of archival photographs, No Man's Land brings an element of physical performance and a sometimes painterly aesthetic to newly executed work, which seems to mirror the adolescent search for identity and self-discovery.
This project aims to question the veracity of memories and how we, as adults, have been forged by such a short period of our life more than we might think."
