This series subjects how the racialised body or the "other" has been seen and represented throughout an institutional archival document of my grandfather, which presents how identity can be negated in multiple ways, such as a non-white body in a colonial context and afterwards fighting for independence. Sofia began this series out of thoughts about her grandfather's path and her own path as a black woman-creating an intergenerational bridge this time without the archive.

Instead, I decided to create my own "archive" with a collection of blurred photographs in black and white to create a dreamy small fiction that reveals this long journey of self-acceptance.
