I look into the integration processes of twelve female migrants and their relationship to their past and present, exploring the hidden psychological landscapes between the migrants’ old and new identities. I contacted the participant’s family who still lived in their childhood home and visited them alone, photographing a wall within the home. I then made a 1:1 print of the wall photo and hung it in my studio. I then invited the participant to my studio and shot them in front of the photograph.My work explores transnational mobility and psychological issues and conflicts around migration.
