Memories
"Memory is not a single thread, but a tapestry woven from fragments."
In "Memories," I orchestrate a convergence of disparate visual elements—sites, objects, and moments that, in the logic of the everyday, might never coexist. Through a process of deliberate juxtaposition, I reassemble these fragments into unified compositions that challenge the boundaries between coherence and dissonance.
This body of work is my way of interrogating the mechanisms of memory. I propose that recollection is not a linear or seamless narrative, but rather a dynamic collage: layered, mutable, and often contradictory. Each painting becomes a site of reconstruction, where the personal and the universal intersect. My method mirrors the mind’s own process of assembling identity and place from scattered impressions, emotional residues, and sensory details.
By foregrounding the tension between unity and fragmentation, I invite viewers to reconsider the architecture of their own remembrance. I suggest that our sense of self and belonging is not forged from singular, unbroken stories, but from the ongoing negotiation of disparate experiences—each one essential, none entirely dominant. In this way, my work becomes both a personal archive and a broader meditation on the nature of memory itself.
