Based on my own experience, this project is titled the disclose of the unaware. It talks about different stages that arise in the lives of people who have to go over difficult times due to the violence of war, and the impact it leaves in their lives, influencing their character as well as their way of seeing things. Conflicts between past and present, reality and memory. Even after years, these events have had a great influence on the person I am today.

Living in a different country other than mine, these events of the past continue to influence my way of seeing things, the way of understanding them, and influencing the decisions on how they should be taken. This brought attention to the question of what a home really means to an immigrant. How immigrating to a country can change our perception and influence a certain way of living because of difficulties encountered in the host country. In this project, the exploration of these experiences is done through the creation of installations trying to tell all these realities that many people don’t know.
