In 40 explores the intricate interplay between personal history and the social landscape. Through a short film and a series of photographs, the work traverses spaces imbued with history—hometowns, sites of travel, and places rich in personal and cultural significance—allowing these locations to speak to the legacies they hold. Grounded in the traditions of journalism and storytelling, the project begins with interviews and writing to uncover deeper layers of understanding. It seeks to reclaim an understanding of individual identity and familial bond, addressing broader questions about how we carry, confront, and reconcile our past.
