Derived from the Latin word epistol or epistula (message, letter), the word epistle is associated first and foremost with religious texts.
However, its definition also encompasses a public, open letter addressed to one person. Besides as a medium of artistic expression, I have used photography to document performative processes with which I reconstruct lived experiences - while simultaneously creating new ones.
I have used fragments from my past such as family archives, memories and situations that have significantly influenced the formation of my identity, and which would often leave me feeling like a stranger.
With these, I have built a visual narrative addressed to my father, like a letter never written.
