Revisiting Memories weaves the past and the present through the juxtaposition of two photographs. One photograph shows my two sisters and I standing at the front door of our home in Brossard; the second captures the same scene, without the figures, 20 years later. Both pictures were made using the lens of the same SLR camera my dad used to document the beginning of our journey in Montreal, when we first immigrated to Canada, 24 years ago. The fragmented aspect of the work effectively captures the complexity of memories, blurring the boundaries between the truth and the constructed, and merging them together to create a reality that becomes our own personal story of who we are.
