I Feel Blue is an autobiographical work constructed through photography, writing, family images, personal archives and generated imagery. Moving between childhood and adulthood, the project traces memory, longing, belonging and melancholy through fragments rather than a linear narrative.

Water runs throughout the work as both landscape and metaphor. The recurring image of a blue swimming pool becomes a space of memory, submersion and escape — somewhere between an actual place and an imagined one.

Developed as a photobook and installation, I Feel Blue explores how a life can be reconstructed from images: those we inherit, those we make, those we share, and those we invent.
