Fading Memories
Our past, present, and future are intimately linked by our memories. Recollections hold
important knowledge about our lives and our personal attributes and traits. Through
mental time travel, memory can also directly transport us into our past as well as our
future directing us toward the person we are yet to become. No one else has our exact collection
of remembrances; they are what makes each of us unique.
I began thinking of the validity of memories. Are they something that we actually experienced
or just a story that we have heard over and over until it becomes imbedded as reality?
Occasionally, a distant memory will pop up triggered by some random thing or thought. The
recall on the complete thought is sometimes hazy and you ask yourself, “Is my reminiscence correct?”
As time goes by memories began to fade. They are ever changing and evolving.
Spurred on by past introspective thoughts, I started working with vintage portraits, combining
them with painterly textures. I would blur these photos in an attempt to preserve their legacies.
