I have been photographing my family vacations since 2011. As the eldest of five, my parents pushed me out of my childhood too fast and left me with the weight of an adult role. I felt like an insider with my parents and an outsider with my siblings, longing for the freedom my siblings seemed to have. Layers of psychological dynamics were deepened as I recently became a mother myself. While on these trips, I am caught between my own adulthood and childhood: trying to escape the facade of my well-rehearsed role as a parentified child.
