By collecting the haunting yet enigmatic moments of everyday life and her vintage family photographs which trace back three generations of her family, she evokes a melancholy as fleeting as a mirage, and transforms them into an exploration of her own roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e”I’ve never really known how to use my voice. When I picked up a camera, I felt like it was the first time I could express myself, my thoughts and my emotions so accurately and honestly. I don’t know if I was consciously aware that the way I was taking photographs and that the images I chose to capture were influenced by my heritage and my roots. Perhaps the family photos I was surrounded by as a child had seeped into my subconscious and flowed out into my lens. In any case, this is my view; this is my world as I see it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst edition of 700 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCairo Apartment, 2026 \u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 96pp \u003cbr\u003e265 x 205mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenderbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64897425473913,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/8029\/files\/Tenderbooks_099a085b-f160-4ac1-842d-5a971292bddb.jpg?v=1792080544","url":"https:\/\/tenderbooks.co.uk\/products\/untold-voices-chieska-fortune-smith","provider":"Tenderbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
