As we step into the unknown, it’s the memories of familiar spaces that linger the longest.
This work is a way to process the growing distance between myself and my family home—preserving the objects, textures, and spaces that shaped me. By capturing them, I hope to ease the inevitable weight of leaving them behind.
My work explores the emotional process of letting something go—particularly the fragments of memory that we hold onto as we move forward. These memories, often distorted by time, become the spaces in which nostalgia is formed: blurry, fragmented, and disjointed. Yet, this distortion offers a strange comfort, linking us back to a familiar time. Through my pieces, I investigate how memory itself can be deceptive. While the objects within my work might appear clear from one angle, they become warped or dismantled from another, much like how memories can seem solid and certain but are often missing essential building blocks or perspectives that make them whole.
Memories don’t appear static; they evolve, erode and reshape themselves over time. These pieces are somewhat recognisable and structured, but gaps remain. They combine space and objects into one and highlight the way nostalgia may mask the complexity and impermanence of memory.
