House Mis-Remembrance
House Mis-Remembrance explores the tension between memory and reality through a series of layered photographs. By juxtaposing archival Polaroid images from my early childhood with present-day photographs of my childhood home, I delve into the dichotomy of what once was and what now remains.
The Polaroids, captured by my parents before our house fell into a state of prolonged and unfinished construction, reflect a seemingly ordinary, stable past. These images are layered onto contemporary photographs of the same spaces, now marked by the incompleteness of the house. This contrast between the idyllic memories preserved in the Polaroids and the stark present-day realities of the house reveals the fragility of memory and its power to distort or soften harsh truths.
House Mis-Remembrance serves as a meditation on impermanence, the distortion of memory, and the complicated relationships we have with the places we once called home.
