Within the framework of this artistic project, I unveil a portal into the realm of emotions, exposing the intricate layers interwoven with family relationships, individual growth, and the nuanced boundaries that delineate gender.By transforming archival material into collages, I construct the narrative structure reminiscent of one of my cherished novels. The work is bifurcated, with each part revealing a distinct perspective on the story. In the initial segment, through the medium of collages, I craft an environment where challenges metamorphose into opportunities for resilience, and pain becomes the bedrock for personal development.In the subsequent section, I accentuate emotional upheaval, creating diverse collages sourced from the same set of photographs. Each image encapsulates the intricate nature of familial relationships. At the core of the book lies a petite booklet containing photos that my mother tore from her wedding album. As an artist, I collect and reimagine these images, portraying them as a tableau of violence that narrates the unraveling of a marriage.
