"Rehtom"
This is an ongoing project, in the process of development. This project explores how motherhood is shaped by temporality, environment, and inherited memory within the artist’s matrilineal lineage. Each generation bears the imprint of the one preceding it—values, anxieties, and expectations transmitted through lived experience. These intergenerational influences inform the artist’s understanding of her mother’s maternal identity and, in turn, illuminate how memory constructs the maternal self. By tracing familial narratives across generations, the work examines how historical, social, and spatial contexts inscribe themselves onto maternal experience, revealing motherhood as a dynamic identity continuously formed through the interplay of personal recollection and collective inheritance.
In several works, symbolic elements are employed to articulate the nuances of inherited memory and emotional transmission. These symbols serve as conduits through which the artist translates intangible familial resonances into visual form. While the archival photograph itself is detached from lived memory, the introduction of symbolic motifs reanimates it—inviting associations, emotions, and meanings that bridge the gap between personal recollection and historical absence.
