Golden Plates is an ongoing series of photographic works created through photo transfers and collages drawn from fragments of familial archives—combining images from my family album with scenes from my immediate surroundings—on reflective Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP), a material widely used in urban architecture.

This approach, informed by the surface aesthetics of photographic materials in states of crisis, explores themes of identity, intimacy, cultural memory, and decolonial thought. Golden Plates engages the public and its surrounding space, transforming viewing into a shared experience that blurs the boundaries between self, space, and meaning.
