Photo Conversations began as a dialogue across generations—an exchange with my great-grandfather, great-aunt, and father through the family photographs they made while living in or visiting the Caribbean. Each image becomes a site of return and revision. By scanning and reworking these photographs, I construct collages that reuse fragments of the same image, blurring, mirroring, and enlarging select details. Faces often dissolve into abstraction, while hands and feet grow in scale, signaling a shift in agency and presence. Through these manipulations, the photographs move away from linear storytelling toward something more interpretive and open-ended. The act of editing becomes a form of conversation, an annotation in visual language that repositions the family image as an evolving document—unfinished, porous, and continually rewritten. In reframing these photographs, Photo Conversations reimagines the archive as a space for listening, re-seeing, and speaking across time.
