Summary
By capturing scenes that seem chaotic—clothes scattered around, toys and food spilled, household items displaced from their original arrangement— I try to visualize what family life would look like with a child, especially in the context of a multi-generational family. The arrival of the kid brings abundant joy, but it also creates a kind of chaos in which each member feels, to some extent, “lost” or disoriented.
