My photographs visually express the notion of transience and
split cultural identity caused by the act of migration. I have been
viewing this issue through the lens of my own personal history
and cultural journey from India to the United States. This journey
left me feeling disconnected- unable to anchor myself in any
particular cultural framework. I have therefore formed a hybrid
identity, a patching together of two cultures within one person.
In my work I use my own family snapshots, which are recontextualized
alongside fragmented images and staged imagery to reveal
the correlations between generations, cultures and memory.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
