In this work I collected some of my childhood memories of war, violence, and censorship in a limited-edition artist's book. Each story was told from two parallel viewpoints. A poem portrayed my current perspective on the event, while an image illustrated my perspective as a child on the opposite page. Through this work, I aimed to explore the complexities of memory and perspective, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions.
