Blending the personal with the political, the work reflects on themes of identity, migration, and foreignness. Drawing from my own journey, it invites viewers to reflect on their own stories of displacement and connection, fostering a sense of shared experience and understanding.
The project also features a research film that employs desktop filmmaking to guide viewers through personal archives, receipts, and memories, creating an intimate narrative space.
