This series explores the fragile boundary between the self and the people who shape us.We don’t always notice the moment when something that belongs to someone else becomes part of us. Another person’s fear, a gesture, a way of loving or seeing the world can slowly begin to speak in our own voice. The line between support and influence, between what is ours and what comes from elsewhere, is often almost impossible to see. We carry the imprints of the people we have known, even long after they are no longer part of our lives. Some of these imprints we consciously choose to hold on to; others we try to let go of.And some become so deeply intertwined with us that it is no longer possible to tell where their story ends and ours begins.Wh ere do I end — and where do others begin?
