“Cracked Memories”

By Tirdad Aghakhani

When Tirdad visited his grandmother in Tehran in 2004, they talked about the importance of family roots. He remembers her saying, “As a tree cannot survive without its roots so is a family.” Along with his great-grandmother’s marriage certificate from more than 140 years ago, she gave him a gift with a collection of her old family photographs. He created an artistic process that combined these family photographs along with his fantasies about his relationship with his family. Finally Tirdad incorporates x-ray photos of his body parts into the photographs representing a part of his family “root” that he left behind. He explains “I have left my soul in these photographs so that I can be one with my family. I would like to connect to my roots, so that I can grow up again.”
