In July 2025, shortly after the 12-day war in my home country, I attended a residency at Ox-Bow in Michigan, where I participated in a workshop on alternative photographic techniques. There, I began working with cyanotype prints and turned my family archive into these blue images. Each print was created by hand, a process of remembering and holding memories of home. It became a tactile form of remembrance, as if I could touch the past. Some of the photographs are over sixty years old, and through the cyanotype process, they gained new life. Each image reborn with a blue soul. I am interested in the uniqueness of this technique, in the way chemicals meet the sun that makes every print singular and unrepeatable. It is a quiet meditation on memory, time, and presence.
