A non-linear story and travel through culture, family, and self.

This practice-led auto-ethnographic project explores the relationship between space and identity for an individual who travels through the present and memory. It investigates non-linear storytelling and multiple dimensions of presence through the lenses of cultural identity, psychogeography, and mortality. This publication expresses cultural diaspora and split narratives through illustration as memory, photography as present, and the text as a reflection. The project aims to open up a conversation about belonging and mortality, especially for people who experience a split between multiple identities. This acts as a personal memorial for a family, with the hopes of taking the viewer through an immersive, poetic, yet ordinary story.
