Family Meetings (ongoing)

The series "Family Meetings" (2013–ongoing) explores familial relationships and belonging in terms of cultural identity, its ambiguity, fractuality, and fluidity over a timespan of more than a decade. The work began with a longing to locate myself within a family construct while identity felt porous, fractal, and constantly in motion. I returned to a family constellation in which closeness and distance coexisted. Some relatives were familiar only through childhood fragments; others felt like I had never left their side. In that tension, my role kept shifting: guest and family member, newcomer and kin, granddaughter, niece, cousin, visitor.
