- Subject This image I selected to represent household I feel is very unique in telling my story of my family as there is slight diversity captured within one image which may lead to many questions about my household.

- Subject Everyone has a story. And disability is not inability. With the right people by your side, everything is possible. The picture is of a grandmother and her granddaughter. Helping the grandmother to fetch firewood.

- Subject The image is part of an ongoing body of work exploring my Grandfathers relationship to his childhood home and the prospect of selling it after 70 years. In the image he is reading the post that has accumulated on the doorstep of the home after a period of it being empty. Most of the post is addressed to his late mother.

- Subject This year has been rather stressful, but when I look at this portrait of my Nani, a sense of calmness takes over me and I'm reminded of how lucky I am to have a healthy family throughout this pandemic.

- Subject My Dad has been gathering, sorting and displaying family archival images for years and I am particularly interested in how they interact with, and exist, in the spaces they now inhabit. How they talk to each other, how they fit into the space and how they sit against other surfaces.

- Subject We have mountains of historical and familial ephemera in the house which my Dad regularly goes through or leaves lying around for shadows to fall across. I love the flattening, condensing effect photographing can have on a subject and, here, the light helps frame and form this composite scenes.

- Subject Growing up in a Buddhist household, I am surrounded by many religious talisman, amulets, statue and paintings. One of my favourite embroidered pieces is the Yellow Jambhala. As he feels like a father figure to me, giving our family protection, constantly being there for us day and night.

- Subject This is my favourite photo with my dad and sister at a butterfly exhibition. Growing up, I wasn't close with my dad as he travels around Asia for work and my sister was always living in her own world. Hence, I always keep this photograph as a bookmark in my notebook wherever I travel, especially when I have moved to London for further studies, to keep them around me.

- Subject Over the duration of lockdown and now too, amidst the global pandemic during these strange times, I’ve been working on a small (in progress) project of documenting my time spent in the family home and going on walks. These little walks in a rural place, or one away from my house, provide me with the small bit of freedom and escapism needed to clear my head and allow emotive contemplation during such difficult and challenging times both for my future career and wellbeing. These have almost become documentation of a photographic diary, an ‘isolation diary’. I’ve been photographing on solely my iPhone, as this was the only equipment available to me at the time of starting the project (I had left all of my photography equipment in my university house and had moved back to my family home at the start of lockdown!) – this has actually meant I have taken a bit more time considering and taking the photos as the iPhone is not the most technically sound piece of equipment to do a project with! Therefore, more care has been taken to capture what I’m drawn to wanting to capture, through the act of looking and getting the right angle. I’ve been observing the light, the passing of time, objects which take my interest whether it’s due to how the light shines on it or the way it’s haphazardly fallen to the floor. I've always had a strong connection with the themes of intimate photography and capturing familiar environments or those relating to the home - this image and my others for this series, depict the culture my family have and of their focus doing up houses as projects.
