Time as a concept has always fascinated me. As it flows, traces of it are imprinted into our souls in the form of memories. Stamps of specified moments and emotions layered upon each other. The layers of memory are built on the neurobiological process of encoding, storing, and retrieving, where each recall of a memory re-encodes it, layering new interpretations over old experiences.
Each artwork of this collection is meant to be an exploration of a different layer of memory: one might capture the clarity of an early recollection, while another expresses the blurring that occurs as time adds distance. Those memories exist at the intersection of reality and imagination, creating a lively yet distorted mosaic of one’s self. These pieces are fragments, or echoes, of the larger exhibition project—each a snapshot of moments within the passage of time. They are intentionally fragmented, layered, and foggy in their execution, commenting on how memories of a singular experience evolve, decay, and transform over time.
