Part of the project 'In Search of my Curls', 2020 Archival Pigment Print. (without frame) Edition of 5 ● In-depth research questioning what is passed on in the family, what remains from our origin and how to identify with it. Being the only one in my family to have curly hair, I started to question my identity. With the research-driven mindset of a geologist, I investigated my family’s archive: tangible artefacts, photographs, letters, train tickets and the like. I examined the memories of my relatives by involving my close family members. I attempt to be closer to my ancestors, however, the transmission is done by close relatives and that is often the only source of knowledge, the rest is in the imagination. This research through the “fact”, the artefacts, and the “fiction”, the descendants, outlines the endeavour to delineate a person’s identity becomes a reflection upon a reflection.
