Another Place

02.02.2025 



Another Place is an exploration of memory and identity, shaped by the space between past and present, between what is remembered and what remains. It is a search for something intangible—for traces of a place that is both deeply familiar and distant at once.

This project is rooted in conversations with my mother. Her memories of life in a country she once called home unfold in fragments—fleeting images, moments suspended in time, details sharpened or softened by distance. She speaks of belonging and estrangement, of a country still in the process of defining itself, of a home that was, for her, never entirely whole.

Through photography, I navigate these stories, moving through landscapes she once inhabited and those she later came to call home. Stepping into spaces that no longer hold the same meaning, I trace the echoes of a life that has been lived across borders. The ground I encounter is not the one she describes. Some places have changed, others have disappeared. Memory has its own architecture–what is lost is just as present as what remains.
The photographs do not aim to reconstruct the past, nor do they seek to capture a singular truth. Instead, it lingers in the in-between—in the tension between inherited history and personal experience, in the distance between what was and what is.

The images in this series are not representations, but echoes. They hold something unresolved, something shifting. A landscape that belongs to two perspectives at once. A place that is both remembered and unknown.

At its core, Another Place is about the fluidity of identity, the instability of memory, and the ways in which we carry the past with us—sometimes without realizing it. It is about home, but not as a fixed point. Home as movement, as absence, as something that is always just slightly out of reach.
