“O Blossom in My Mind” is a video art installation that demonstrates the process of archiving the vernacular and the perpetual reinterpretation of familial histories. With the artist’s aunt, Zoubida, and other family members, the work unfolds collective methodologies to understand the essence of archiving. The house is carefully transformed into a resonating chamber of remembrance that captures the essence of family constellations, intimacy, love, conflict, belonging, and resilience. It invites us to take part in the act of archiving, remembering, dismantling, and reassembling our narratives, to perceive the archive through the kaleidoscopic lens of multiplicity.
