This ongoing photo and video-based project examines the familial dynamics of a multi-generational household. I explore my alienated experience as a first-generation Afghan-American and the nuances surrounding my cultural identity, reclaiming my agency in an environment I simultaneously belong to and am disconnected from. I hone in on Afghan social gatherings and how the experience of those situations differs between Afghan immigrants and the first-generation Americans who come after them, focusing both on moments of tenderness and performativity.
