She Is Mine and I Am Her is a photograph produced using a camera obscura Kalo made inside a vacant seaside building in Saida, Lebanon. Capturing the landscape beyond the lens -- the palm-lined streets of the corniche overlooking the sea -- the image, projected inward, is overlaid with the shadow of the artist’s body. Her silhouette blends into the scene, suggesting that identity is not fixed but emerges through an embodied relation to place.
Fragmented into twelve sheets and stitched together, the photograph reflects the way selves and places are shaped, displaced, remembered and continually reassembled. The visible seams insist on fragmentation and mending as a condition, where body and land remain bound to one another through porosity, rupture, and repair.
