In this set of images called -Re-framing the past- Clarissa Sligh takes an old family album and illustrates the things she grew up with. Her grandparents, brothers, father, mother, etc. She brings them into a different light by writing stories over these seemingly innocent family photos, without which we would have no idea of what is on the other side. She takes these photos that by themselves are one sided because all we would see are smiling faces, or children with their siblings, but she brings a deeper look by telling us things we wouldn't know otherwise.
Clarissa Sligh uses text over photos to give us extra layers to stories we wouldn't know otherwise. While we could be looking at a photo of a dress, a smiling family, or portraits seeing a person or family who is happy, when we look at the other layers that she has brought a story to it we wouldn't know otherwise.
Her work is bold and outspoken to the things people may not always let us see. She dives deeper into her life and others to the things we wouldn't know by just looking at them.
