This body of work focuses on the aftermath of my father’s genetic test results, which unveiled a hereditary disorder that heightens his, his children’s, susceptibility to cancer. This revelation offered a possible glimpse into our future— a rare, yet ambivalent gift. This project is an exploration of my family and our efforts to provide comfort and resilience for one another during times of hardship. Through this collaboration, we guide each other through the weight of newfound clarity, supporting one another as we confront how our lineage and shared experiences shape our sense of identity.
