Deconstruction suggests the act of uncovering layers and allowing for multiple readings, interpretations and explanations. This project involved conducting a visual survey of my personal camera roll, using it as a material base to analyze the spontaneous images collected over time. The challenge was to break down my photo gallery to identify patterns and recurring themes that reflect the evolution of identity—personal, cultural, emotional, and social.
What do your images say about you? And how does that relate to the world at large?
Approach:
By examining my images through a deconstructive lens, I uncovered connections and contrasts between seemingly unremarkable moments. This process revealed two distinct sets of images—one capturing the natural landscapes of my home in India and the other depicting Singapore’s concrete jungle. This contrast led me to document my two homes and two selves, reflecting the tension between these spaces.
