Abstract (English)

"Twenty years after leaving Tunisia as a child, I returned to reconnect with a homeland that had lived in my dreams but evolved in my absence. Over two years, I retraced places imprinted in my family’s history: Tunis, where I was born; Djerba, the land of my ancestors; and Kerkennah, the site of my childhood summers. Documenting the tension between memory and reality, longing and loss.

Through photographs of etched landscapes and portraits of strangers, this book is a visual ode to reconciliation, uncovering the traces of home’s fragility and the experiences found in returning to it." -- Artist's website.
