A snapshot into a version of our life that we chose to remember
This project tries to capture the hard-to-pin down ideas of national romanticism, family and belonging that underpins Swedish culture. As our children decamp to Sweden for their summers – slotting into different rules, language and environment – their memories will be tempered by this alternative reality. This project then, is a snapshot into a version of our life that we chose to remember.
In the tales we weave and the whispers between generations we remember and tell stories to anchor us to a culture and place that has moulded us. We ignite a deep-seated yearning to return, revisit, and remember, quite what we’re never entirely sure – for it is illusive.
