This is a scene of my family cooking together. We were making manté, a traditional Armenian dish that is time consuming to make, but delicious. Manté is folded dough and meat, boiled and served with a dollop of tomato sauce. In this moment, my family is bonding by working and laughing together to make the process more efficient and enjoyable. The emotions of these documentary photos are solidified by atmospheric and classical composition and lighting. The style and subject matter embody warmth, nostalgia, love, and tradition through nourishment and quality time. When faced with unresolved cultural bereavement, creating art and cooking together comforts the soul and preserves tradition.

In my series, I navigate Barthes’ dichotomy of belonging and authenticity, seeking grace in self-portraiture without mimicry. I stage family artifacts within Delacroix’s orientalist palette, transforming Armenian-Syrian heritage into a tableau akin to his work. Technical finesse in the post-production stages, namely colour grading, emphasises a chosen aesthetic code. As both archivist and subject, I embody “the looked at image” and “the eye that looks,” crafting an empowered self-representation amidst orientalism’s complexities. The creative process sways between expressive and critical, mirroring Barthes’ conflicting languages. The serene stoicism of Delacroix’s bridal drawing is transposed, opting for a direct engagement with the viewer that asserts the subject’s presence on her significant day.
