objects from home/at home (in progress)

These photos are part of an ongoing project where I go into the apartments of other Lebanese living outside of Lebanon and photograph the objects they keep around that remind them of Home.Possessions are an extension of the self. What we choose to bring into our spaces reflects what we hold close, and signals to others who we want to be and where we want to belong. This project will ultimately live as a searchable digital index of objects from the diasporic community. I anticipate (and hope) for many objects to repeat themselves. Your bowls are my bowls are our bowls.

ABOUT
Lebanese-American (b. 1993) raised between the US and Beirut, Lebanon.

Making: long-term, image-based projects and installations 
Thinking about: the impact of time and age on people and places + the tensions it creates between personal and collective memory, what is preserved vs. what is lost or destroyed, how memory reconstructs the past in the absence of a complete record.
Focused on: familial patterns and domestic spaces, often in relation to social and economic shifts in present-day Lebanon.
