This is the first work in which I turned to my own archival footage, marking a pivotal shift in my practice. Built around home videos from the 1990s, it takes the form of an essay film that explores how memory and grief shape our understanding of identity.

​

Structured in chapters, each section centers on a different family member and unfolds in the order of their passing. Dreamlike scenes—where I, as an adult, interact with symbolic objects—serve as thresholds into fragments of childhood footage, weaving past and present through emotional association.

​

Blending newly shot material with aged VHS recordings, the film embraces a hybrid form. My voice accompanies each chapter with intimate reflections on nostalgia, absence, and loss. Through this interplay of memory, narration, and moving image, the work reaches beyond the personal to explore universal themes of mourning, belonging, and how identity is shaped by the stories and images we inherit.
