Imperfect Constellations is predominantly about family. The family we are born into, the family we create, and the lovers and people we meet who all interweave and mingle to shape who we are, and who we become. It explores how we carry experiences from past generations that can dictate out present narrative and affect how we relate to the world. I was inspired by the concept of constellation therapy. I thought it was fascinating to put strangers in a room and ask one person to map out their relationships using people they had never met before, in the hope that they would be able to unravel something about their history. I also remember reading about the constellation Orion when my dad was dying. They said that one of the brightest stars on Orion’s belt was dying and that its disappearance would alter the whole skyline and the way it looked. I thought this related to dad, as when someone dies it changes the whole infrastructure within a family and you have to explore who you become without the constellation you created together.
