Between Past and Present: A Sense of belonging and a home from the past.

Time also changes our observations and memories, which transform into faint fragments of certain personal visual experiences. My series of multi-exposed and sketchy photographic images is a revisit to many such layers of memories and identities. They come from specific locations where I spent the most important part of growing up as a child, and presently they have become a juxtaposition of my own past and present. I am trying to identify everything with the same childlike excitement and enthusiasm, yet it does not feel the same.
I suddenly find myself dealing with that nostalgia at a time when
suddenly I find myself revisiting my sense of belonging and a home from my past, which was the true essence of my growing up.
Multiple memories start to play on my mind. I start losing track of time with my vision fading and unclear. I am mapping a fragment of my own history using double exposure, single images as well as diptychs in order to express the vacuum of space and time. I try to search for meaning in everything, yet I resist the effort for the sake of simple pleasures. I am just simply staring through various surfaces.
