Abstract
This thesis explores the quiet tensions and emotional distance within the domestic space through a series of black-and-white photographs taken in my family home. The work examines themes of belonging, identity, and the transformation of familial relationships over time. Without using self-portraiture, I present this series through a first-person point of view - everything is seen through my eyes, not as a member of the family unit, but as an observer, a stranger within the house. Through still portraits of my parents, details of ordinary rooms, and the quiet movements of my cat, the photographs trace the emotional shifts that occur within spaces that once felt familiar. Rather than focusing on dramatic moments, the images reveal subtle instances of disconnect, memory, and change - offering a visual reflection on the fragile, often unspoken dynamics that shape family life.
