Interstitial Dreamscapes is a multimedia installation that combines self-portraiture and storytelling to explore identity, self-creation, and healing. The project builds on my previous work where I utilized my own body to interrogate themes of culture, tradition and duty.
With Interstitial Dreamscapes, I wanted to go deeper and take the time to explore the tension between expectation and trauma. Between what is internal, what is reflected to/by the outside world and how fantastical storytelling can aid in processing pain as a path towards reconciliation. This led me to ask the question of how does one reconstruct the self after it has been fragmented? This led me to mine my personal histories and craft a story where we meet a protagonist at a crossroads in her life where she is visited by a tripartite entity that embodies the past, the present and the future.
