Departure is a self-exploration of the repercussion of psychological conflict with my father over the past twenty years, rooted in the Oedipus complex. Our longstanding rivalry took time to understand its root cause, but gradually the depletion and complexity of the relationship starts to slowly decrease where I begin to sense the recuperation of our bonding which drives me to understand and accept him as an individual instead of considering him just as a paternal figure. Recognising the psychological undercurrent in our relationship brought a profound shift in my understanding of a new perspective on human relationships. His sudden death in 2021 left this reconciliation unfinished, creating a sense of unresolved grief.

So, this journey of self-exploration visually explores the intricate interplay of conflict, acceptance, and loss in mending the complex familial bonds.
