A short film capturing the artist's mother's journey to London. The film is recorded on a camera originally purchased by the artist's father in 2004 to document his European journey when he couldn’t bring his family along.
Informed by the exploration of intimate conversation, the film compares the artist's upbringing with that of his mother, addressing generational trauma and confronting the emotional distance from his father. Through this documentary, the artist engages in the powerful act of curating their narrative together, vulnerable and emotional. It presents a compelling example of reclaiming personal and familial stories.
By deciding to record and preserve this footage on the camera his father once used, the artist gives his mother a space to place her narrative, where originally it would have belonged solely to his father and himself. At the end of the film, the artist hands the camera to his mother, providing her with a means to contribute to the narrative.
