Memories Made of Stone

Abstract

Memories serve as an internal framework through which we structure our understanding of ourselves, others, and our past experiences, but they are not infallible. Memories distort over time and can be inaccurate artifacts-we can hyper-fixate, romanticize, take things out of context, and even forget. The experiences these memories are formed from are just as subjective, filtered through our own lenses of perception. This body of work is simultaneously an acknowledgement of both the subjectivity of perception and the natural distortion of memories, and a space to reflect on the existence of multiple perspectives.
