Spacewomb is a self-portrait series rooted in my experience of being adopted and growing up without knowing my biological family. The absence of this history has shaped my understanding of identity and left me with questions that have remained unanswered since childhood. Returning to my childhood bedroom, I use my body to recreate fetal-like positions as a way of imagining a connection to my biological mother and the beginning of my own existence. These gestures are not attempts to reconstruct memory, but to inhabit the space where memory cannot exist. My childhood room becomes a symbolic womb, a place where absence, longing, and imagination converge. Through repetition and vulnerability, I explore how the body can become a site for searching, mourning, and reconnecting with an origin that has always been beyond my reach.
