In this series Barbara Hoogeweegen was inspired by author and neurologist Oliver Sacks and his view that creativity and nostalgia come from the same place in our sense of self. They come from places of interruption. We don’t feel nostalgic about every experience we’ve ever had. Only those experiences which in some way were interrupted or incomplete. And we create art and feel nostalgia out of the drive to complete those interruptions or repair those breakages.

For this series Hoogeweegen worked from photos from her childhood that resonate; hoping to capture and communicate the emotion particular to that moment in time.
