What part of your identity is determined by childhood amnesia?
In this life, the infancy and early childhood phases hold a paramount role in shaping one's self-perception. These pivotal years, though cloaked in fragmented recollections, drive a relentless pursuit of lost memories. The cyclic rebirth of a self-portrait embodies this quest, reflecting the relentless longing for elusive childhood experiences. Filling the gaps with photographs and speculative narratives, a response to childhood amnesia unfolds, evoking a dualistic contemplation of identity. This tension, nestled within the realms of surrealism, becomes a canvas for exploring the essence of self.
