'Memories never restore whole; they emerge as fragments. My exploration encompasses the opaque realm of partially revived memories, a journey that extends to the way memories passed down from elders fragment across generations. Stories of our past erode, and my work captures this phenomenon through emulsion lifts sourced from my grandfather's negatives-once lost. These fragments reveal new imagery, illustrating the erosion of our collective history.'
