In between
The cyanotype titled « In Between » explores the space between staying and leaving, belonging and searching. The image of a child, caught between the past and an uncertain future, symbolizes the narrative of migration, nostalgia, and the universal desire for safety and belonging. The child’s decision - whether to journey alone or stay where their parents’ roots were planted - embodies the tension of leaving and holding on.
The deep blue tones of the cyanotype reflect the emotional weight of these themes, with the medium emphasizing time and memory. This piece captures the resilience and longing that accompany migration, as well as the pull of home, no matter how distant it may seem.
It is not only about movement, but also the traces we leave behind. It asks: Do we ever truly leave, or do we carry home with us, inscribed in the light and shadow of memory?
