Traces of Forgetting
Traces of Forgetting is a video installation incorporating layers of translucent fabric to visualize the temporal gaps and transformations of memory.
The work began with an attempt to recall a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock film one month after watching it. The gaps and discrepancies that emerged between the original scene and my recollection were expressed through processes of painting over, dissolving, and cutting away parts of the image.
These distorted and fading memories, intertwined in a state of confusion, are projected onto multiple layers of mesh fabric, forming what I call the "Veils of Memory."
Through these overlapping screens, viewers are invited to drift through a fragmented landscape of imperfect memories, where reality and illusion, truth and delusion intersect.
Through this work, I sought to suggest that the memories of my mother, who is living with Alzheimer's disease, may not be so different from my own, or indeed, from those of all of us.
