The Lost Memories

 

“The Lost Memories” is a series of work I began in 2015 and have continuously worked on to today. In this series, I attempt to pick up on memories which would otherwise be lost with time – be it an old photo, a hug, or an intimate relationship.

​

I use color to document people, events, and ever-passing scenery which were once familiar but are now blurry and fleeting. I hope to pack all of those memories, piece-by-piece, moment-by-moment into my works to serve as a reflection of my life.

​

Even on a normal day, things that are destined to be lost or unintentionally left behind turn into fragments of time. They scatter behind me soundlessly. Along the way, I continue picking up these fragments which record each forgotten and neglected day of the past. 

​

When I hold onto one of these fragments and frame it with a painting, the blur lifts and my memory comes alive.
