Nostalgia.
It’s a feeling that interweaves both sadness and happiness.
The sadness comes from the sense of mourning,
mourning an experience that one does not expect to have again.
The happiness develops from a place of gratitude,
an appreciation to have had the experience in the first place.
It is the emotional connection we have to our past memories.
Through this multimedia work, Tyla explores the evolving nature of her relationship with her younger brother, Roman. She invites you to travel through time and place with her, visiting and reminiscing on past memories to ultimately reach a point of acceptance. Utilising archival photos and home videos, she asks you to come along with her as she immerses herself in long-forgotten moments, recreating them in a bittersweet enactment of life, love and longing.
