2011 > The Little Kingdom

'The Little Kingdom' is a body of work that explores a search for identity, sorting through the cultural baggage of a childhood buried in faded memories and family lore that resonates from a time of absolutes. I wanted to rediscover the stories of my childhood world buttressed within the finite walls of an urban Australian Muslim household, celebrating the tribal familiarity of toys and tales that still live somewhere between reality and the vivid fictions of childhood.
