Au Revoir(2021–2023)

Au Revoir engages the charged and often romanticized notion of the motherland, not only as geography, but as a terrain of longing, displacement, and imagined return. Through soft fields and fragmented landscapes, the series meditates on the contradictions of departure: the tension between absence and attachment, the gravity of what is left behind, and the indeterminate pull of what lies ahead.

Here, land becomes less a physical ground than a vessel for memory, a mutable site where belonging is suspended and identity reshaped in the shadow of exile. Au Revoir inhabits the liminal threshold where self, place, and origin are continuously renegotiated. The work dwells in the poetics of transition: a space where longing and loss are parallel forces, quietly shaping one another.
