Issue 13 – Memories of the Future
Note to Readers By Priyanka Sacheti Visual Narratives Editor
Are we always unconsciously writing letters to ourselves in the future? Are we mindful of the fact that our present is becoming future nostalgia or a site of introspection and reflection? Are we writing our futures as we breathe?
The visual becomes a bridge from which future beckons.
Bramhi Panamalai’s shoebox of photographs mine the beauty from the seeming mundane, fashioning memories for her future self, a precious gift.
Mehak Khurshied’s piercing, poignant ode to her family centers upon the idea that in the past lies our future. Literal and figurative family portraits and a tender meditation upon the nose become a two-way porthole into the past and future.
