Turning Back

2023

I enlarged a photograph of my family home until it became a space to enter.

I translated a photograph of my family home in India into a monumental charcoal drawing in negative tonal values. Removing colour and enlarging the image made the distant house feel like a space that could be entered imaginatively.

During its production, I invited friends to narrate memories of childhood, home and family. Their stories appear on a screen integrated into the drawing, allowing an individual recollection to become a shared space.
