The project, A Dialogue with Us, attempts to investigate and understand self through looking at others, coming from a similar background; families with 4 daughters. I am the youngest in my family, and I have 3 elder sisters. In a documentary approach, this work places me as an external observer in others’ private space; home. The process of visiting and revisiting these families gives me the opportunity not only to look at them (as others), but also looking at myself from a third person’s perspective. The process recollects memories, intrigues the present and offers possibilities for my future as the similarity in circumstances of these families reflect on my upbringing and my anticipations in my life.
