Student Narrative
This artist book brings together a series of my photographs—self-portraits, still life, and images where the body and object merge, reflecting my experience as a foreign person settling into a new country and an unfamiliar house that I try to call home. The work captures emotional vulnerability in friction with a new environment and the longing for the familiar. Created as cyanotypes, the images are accompanied by text that whispers and echoes around them, amplifying the sentiments of displacement, intimacy, and the shifting relationship between body, space, and belonging.
