Unique Artwork. This work features an image of my aunt at a birthday party, and the image has been transferred onto two sheets of corrugated steel. This medium adds a new layer of meaning, with the rusted texture of the steel reflecting the erosion of time and the uncertainty that often surrounds childhood memories, especially those intertwined with migration. The figures in the photograph are blurred and indistinct, granting me creative freedom to reinterpret the scene and reconstruct a narrative that may not align with the actual events. This piece questions the reliability of memory and how distance—both temporal and geographical—affects our recollection of past events. The work embodies the idea of constructing a diasporic reality from fragments of memories, where truth is fluid and shaped by both loss and imagination.
