I Used to Be Her

Identity is not something we possess. It is something we move through.

Every version of ourselves feels permanent while we inhabit it. Until one day, we look back and realize that person no longer exists.

Not because they disappeared.

Because we continued becoming.

I Used to Be Her explores the quiet succession of selves that shape a lifetime. Through this ongoing body of work, Ava Noémie reflects on identity not as something fixed, but as something continually transformed by time, memory and lived experience.
