My family archive is filled with thousands of photos, diary pages, unsent letters, home movies, and more, which provide glimpses of the past. However, these materials don’t always reveal the complete truth. For instance, as I was commenting on how my grandparents made a beautiful couple in the photos, the TV incident was revealed, highlighting the limitations of the archive.

This realization has shaped my storytelling technique, which involves searching for the gaps and missing pieces that the physical archive may not capture.

Family archives serve as fragments of information for the characters to react upon, but they might not always tell the whole story. Through this approach, my aim is to paint a more nuanced and multifaceted picture of my family's history, piecing together untold stories that may have been overlooked over time.
