My research delves into how the interplay of light and shadow in domestic spaces serves as metaphors for these boundaries, illuminating the tension between personal histories and collective memory. By utilizing the anthotype process with turmeric, a material laden with cultural symbolism, I further explore how this alternative photographic method offers insight into personal and cultural narratives of home and identity. This method not only reflects the fragility and transience of memory but also underscores the act of preservation, allowing me to engage with inherited family histories while addressing broader societal themes of security, care, and belonging. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie fisiese structure wat ons in ons huise plaas—soos vensters, diefwering en gordyne weerspieël dieper, meer genuanseerde grense wat bestaan tussen sigbaarheid en privaatheid, blootstelling en verskuiling. My narvorsing ondersoek hoe die spel van lig en skaduwee in huishoudelike ruimtes dien as metafore vir hierdie grense, wat die spanning tussen persoonlike geskiedenisse en kollektiewe geheue belig. Deur die gebruik van die anthotipe-proses met borrie, ń material belaai met kulturele simboliek, verken ek verder hoe hierdie alternatiewe fotografiese metode insig bied in persoonlike en kulturele narratiewe van tuiste en identiteit. Hierdie metode weerspieël nie net die broosheid en verganklikheid van geheue nie, maar beklemtoon ook die daad van bewaring, wat my in staat stel om met geërfde familiegeskiedenisse te werk, terwyl ek breër sosiale temas van sekuriteit, sorge n behoort aanspreek.
