Over Everything explores the relationship between memory and self. Running through the nostalgia ingrained in familial archives—some never held a place, some they never touched—Maghathe navigates moments they never lived. Some they can still feel, others are barely tangible. In the process, they construct new memories that blur the lines between truth and fabrication. The complex interplay of emotions and stories surfaces through each image, layering time, absence, joy, and longing into overlapping frames that each offer fragments of past truths.
These photographs become points of rediscovery, each holding inherited stories. Embedded with words and motifs, the fabric becomes a means of communication with the past—to a younger self, to close and distant relatives. Over Everything examines how memory is shaped, altered, and remembered through the act of retrieval, initiating a dialogue between longing, connection, and remembrance.
