Image Transfer
9” x 12”
Lelekidis combines fragments of her own photographs with found family photographs, reassembling and reworking them to construct new images. The found images depict symbols of cultural traditions and family bonds, while the process of collage and transfer suggests feelings of displacement and isolation. These reconstructions illustrate a journey through intergenerational narratives to create new value for and insight into these personal inherited histories. This investigation acts as a mediation between the realm of post-memory and the resolution of a troubled legacy.
