Working with Nostalgia

I decided to try to depict the word 'nostalgia' for these photos. In order to evoke that emotion, I overlaid a photo of childhood events with a picture of the place now. For example, I put a picture of me and my mom playing at my grandparent's house over a picture of how the house looks how. You can see the changes the house has gone through, and it creates, in me at least, a yearning for the past and for the old home.



To complete the feeling of nostalgia and the past, I did a transfer onto mulberry paper with these images. The worn-in and handmade quality of the paper is perfect for the personal and earnest content of the photos.
