Building A Home series deals with the body and the unconscious mind. The mind and the body are archives of lived experiences. This body of work focuses on my memories and the ways to preserve them.

The works ‘Half Sugar Cubes’ and “In Search Of Time My Grandmother’s Mouth’ utilize culinary techniques to preserve my memories. Salt is used to keep food fresh; I apply the same principle by using salt bricks to preserve my recollections unchanged. Similarly, vacuum packing is another method to preserve food. I vacuum and seal the bags to create an anaerobic environment to make my memories last longer. Scientists claim that people unintentionally change their memories every time they recall them. Once our brain has a new version of the event, it erases the former version. We forget slowly and transform it constantly. Building A Home includes a conceptual and playful approach that experiments with preservation techniques; this way, the series underlines the strong relationship between the sense of taste and memory.
