The project began with the reminder of a 20-year-old question; one that I was far too young to comprehend at the time.

Why do you keep the photograph you cut if it wounds so deeply? What was it that wounded?

Upon looking through a family album, an image stood out from the rest. One of the aging 6×4 photographs was defaced, designed to keep its silence, yet the spectre of the missing piece shouted loudly.

Unreliable narrator is a journey to discover the answer to a family secret, navigating different truths, beliefs and half-told stories.

Unreliable Narrator comprises of a book consisting of photographs and a short story insert, which can be read together or independently.
