Autopsy, 2021

For me, the family table is – on a symbolic level – a place that lays out the dynamics of human relations within a family. On a conceptual level, I liken it to an autopsy table. By recollecting events marked by trauma, as well as reconstructing situations from my personal past, I forensically approach everyday objects as witnesses that influenced the formation of my identity. In doing so, I open up the space of imagination and the possibility of changing one’s perception of the family home.
