This series of work is about the malleability and fragility of memories. This work considers how some memories will stick with us for years while others fade away with time. As we grow and change, the perspective from which we reflect upon our past can completely reshape a memory. The memory becomes a collage, stitched together with new meanings and associations, patches over wounds, and threads to new aspirations. 

This series initially stemmed from a meeting I had with an elderly woman who is sick with dementia. She has a lifetime's worth of wisdom and stories to share but could not recognize her daughter's face when she was sitting right beside her. It was as if her memories were dissolving from the inside out, and made me ask, what can she grasp that I can not?
