My project A Daughter’s Loss is a response to the sudden death of my father, caused by the current pandemic. In the weeks after his death, within which I had to self-isolate in my childhood home, I realised how much his absence became a massive presence in the domestic space. Through a series of videos, photographs and scans, I attempt to capture the silence which I can’t escape from and the absence that haunts me.
My intention is to encapsulate the bond between father and daughter and show how his role of being a father has affected not only my upbringing but also my desire to become a photographer. The series has become a form of therapy; it has forced me to interact with objects and spaces which have a punctum to me, in an attempt to help me navigate through this grieving process.
