Everything I Brought With Me presents a body of work developed by Miri Badger during her time in Oxford in July 2025. Comprising photographs, self-portraits, and mixed-media works on paper, the exhibition documents a period of physical relocation and emotional isolation. Through an intimate process of photographing personal belongings and living spaces, Badger constructs visual records that are later transformed through ink and watercolour, expanding documentary images into layered, reflective compositions.

The works function both as an archive of a specific place (Pembroke College room 2.1) and time and as a meditation on solitude, presence, and self-observation.

By photographing everything she brought with her, as well as everything contained within the college accommodation, Badger treats the personal inventory as both evidence and portrait. The act of photographing becomes a way of asserting presence and control within a transient space.
