Ghar Se Ghar ‘Ghar Se Ghar‘ meaning home from home, reflects on my grandmother’s journey from Pakistan to Scotland in 1962. This project documents my grandmother’s tendency to hold on to her past through the items she collects and old conversations she continuously plays in her head. Initially inspired by the term ‘palimpsest’ which is given to describe something that has been continuously erased and written over, the project uses elements of physical manipulation which tie into themes of displacement and writing over one's life.
