“We assemble a world from pieces, assuming that what we see is both coherent and equivalent to reality. Until we discover it is not.” (Mirzoeff, N. 2015)
Photographs, regarded as preservers of memories become participants and silent observers in the disintegration of relationships. The project questions the reliability of perception by deconstructing shattered frames to unveil layers of sadness, wistfulness and evolving significances associated with family snapshots.
The deliberate fragmentation acknowledges that loss signifies both a departure and an ongoing reconstruction process symbolising visually the complexity of journeys. Each fractured frame encapsulates a moment frozen in time inviting viewers to navigate through the space between what once was and what remains.
By urging viewers to ponder over the fluidity in family connections and the evolving narratives depicted in representations "Shattered Frames" seeks to challenge preconceived notions. This initiative invites individuals to delve into photography's transformative power where broken fragments paradoxically come together to form a representing growth, resilience and evolving perspectives, on family dynamics.
