Across the Atlantic, we are connected by storms that follow routes long shaped by colonial expansion and forced migration. They reshape land, homes and lives with each return. In their wake, physical spaces change and the memories bound to them erode. When Hurricane Melissa reached Jamaica, it destroyed a homestead belonging to Thompson’s matriarchal family—a house that held generations of family history and memories tied to Bermuda. Roofs collapsed, photographs dissolved and personal artefacts were swept away, leaving gaps where identities and legacies once lived. Layering film, digital and archival photography, new portraits emerge from the rubble. Through them, grief is held rather than resolved, and the work bears witness to how memory shifts when what once anchored it has been lost.
