Origins of Emotions is a series by photographer Monika Merva that presents the quiet moments of family life, bringing into focus small details that often evoke memories heavy with emotion. Each deliberately composed color image exists as a physical record of an instance now past, as the artist hopes to push viewers towards a more mindful observation of the present and our place within the world around us.

"In contemplating this series, I am confronted with the uneasy sense that this body of work is as much about beginnings as it is about endings, life and death. It is about securing my own memories and capturing an image of the people and moments that have given shape to my life. Equally, it is about the awareness of how an image marks the last vestige of that moment in time: a memory captured and a moment disintegrated at the same utterance."
