Exploring family albums through the lens of memory loss, this project is derived from my personal photography archive spanning the 1960s and 1980s. Later in life, my mother experienced dementia, and her ensuing memory loss forms the heart of this work—my interpretation of how she perceived reality, often reliving her childhood. In this narrative, generations blend as her children’s memories intertwine with her own, allowing past and present to collapse into one.

Building on themes from my previous series UnBeautiful, which challenged the pervasive misrepresentation of women's bodies in AI-generated imagery by embracing imperfections and questioning a narrow, male-dominated perspective, Family Album reclaims personal history. Both projects invite viewers to reconsider established narratives—whether by reinterpreting body imagery or by exploring the fragile, intertwined nature of memory and identity.
