AllahyRahmo وﻣ
This project explores memory and what remains after the passing of a loved one. It is rooted in the recent loss of my father and the traces he left behind: objects, places, and memories.
My father was born in Morocco and immigrated to France at the age of twenty. I travelled to Casablanca in his footsteps, to a place tied to his childhood and to which I partially belong, suspended between closeness and distance. There, I explored what persists, and how remembrance is formed or fades. The journey begins with the funeral, from which waves of memories unfold. It ends where it began, bringing recollections back into the present.
The photographs are deliberately altered; grain shapes a fragile visual language that mirrors the emotional strain of grief, while remaining grounded in a sense of reality. Short phrases surface throughout, like echoes of what he might have said.
Allah y Rahmo—may God have mercy on him—transforms absence into a fragile presence, where memory takes form and my father continues to live on.
