Diaries of a Digital Nomad is a personal and universal exploration of how we navigate our constantly shifting environments—physically, digitally, and emotionally—while grappling with the impermanence of our connections, memories, and identities. Through Augmented Reality (AR), this work blurs the boundaries between real and virtual, inviting viewers to reflect on how their own experiences shape who they are and how they understand the world around them.

This collection is inspired by my experiences as a digital nomad, navigating diverse environments from the modest suburbs of Mitchells Plain to the affluent estates of Sandton. Having lived in numerous houses and apartments, the only constant in my life was the belongings we could fit onto a truck. This transient nature of my surroundings prompted me to explore how our attachments to objects and places influence our sense of self and identity.
