Living Inheritance explores the ways identity, culture and lived experience continue through people, objects, gestures and everyday traditions. Through photography and digital intervention, the series reflects on what is carried forward, reshaped and made visible across time. The works consider inheritance not as something fixed, but as an evolving relationship between the past, the present and the lives we continue to build.
