This series is an autobiography of my journey as a migrant child. I immigrated from Cameroon to France at the age of six. Subsequently, my family moved to Louisiana, where I often felt the francophone connection to my birth country. The distortion and confusion surrounding my family's immigration journey created a need to investigate my history further. I always found it unfair that the journey of the immigrant parent is acknowledged while the journey of the immigrant child is unaccountable. My practice explores my inner thoughts and emotions attributed to displacement. Therefore, I use my experience as an adult to revisit what was lost in my cultural transition using photography and interdisciplinary techniques to touch on issues of identity. In my work, recollection of lost memories is explored through family archives and oral stories once told by elders.
