Our Street explores the evolving bond between my son and me as he approaches adolescence, and my awareness that this relationship will inevitably shift as he moves further into the world.
I am a single mother in a country that is not my own. Although my son has never been to my country of origin, he is connected to it through the world I have built for him—through language, gestures, music, and everyday rituals that shape our shared life. Within this space, I can fully be myself.
Outside of it, we inhabit a place that is both familiar and foreign to me, and increasingly open to him. The street becomes a threshold between our intimacy and the life he is beginning to enter without me.
Through staged photographs and 35mm diptychs, I explore moments of proximity and distance, where reflections, shadows, and fragments of the body suggest both connection and separation.
