Reassembled Self is a photographic body of work that alters physical documents and creates new records to reclaim authorship over a history once defined by paperwork. This project explores Russian adoption through the transformation of the artist’s personal archive into visual works that question how identity is shaped by time. Reassembled Self examines the gap between lived experience and official narrative, highlighting original documents, photographs, and records that evince the ways in which documentation shapes and distorts identity, memory, and the lived experience.
