Love, Always is a collection of stories about how time and distance significantly alters the terrain of family and belonging. In this series, we explore the lives of three individuals on the verge of adulthood, who offer us a deeper glimpse into their struggles and desires.
Dira is a second year Early Childhood international student in her early 20s. She came to Perth for exchange and studied at Curtin for a semester. Dira is currently based in the U.K. at the University of Hertfordshire. She grew up in Indonesia, and shares a very strong bond with her parents, despite being thousands of miles apart from them. In this interview, she expresses the ways in which distance has altered her relationship with her parents, bringing them closer together, rather than farther apart.
