Shifting Landscapes. To Forget Almost Everything.

Inspired by my interest in memory, how memories are made, how they move through the brain, how they are stored and, finally, how they fail us.

I started working on this project by doing research and reading both articles and studies on memory, watching interviews with neuroscientists and psychologists and writing down my own memories. For my site of visual exploration I picked Tybee Island’s Beach, my favorite place near Savannah, GA, where I admire sunsets regularly. Then, I kept walking and observing my surroundings.

Eventually, I focused on changing light and its impact on an ever changing color palette. While moving/fast paced walking, I was taking photos of the surface of water, sky, dunes and a historic lighthouse. Then, back in my studio, relying on my own memories and hundreds of photos, I took a task to explore a momentary nature of time and space and, consequently, developed a series of digital collages, Shifting Landscapes. To Forget Almost Everything.
