Changeling

    Pascale Hustings, Netherlands

A Changeling is a child secretly exchanged for another in infancy. The Changeling grows up in a strange family, believing it’s her own. All her life she searches for the holes in her memory. ‘Why do I remember the scent of flowers but can’t I see what my home looked like? Where are those familiar looking places that participate in my life story? Who are these people smiling at me? Who gave me my imagination? I was twins, wasn’t I? I wonder where I belong..’

‘As a child I was secretly exchanged with another baby in the cradle,
I am a Changeling child.'
