About
I love flowers and nature.
My mother has a wall full of scrapbooks, each of them filled with hundreds of photographs. Some are captioned with the location and event. I look at all the memories taped together that construct the story of our family. I realize, however, that these are not memories. They are photographs. They are objects. Memories and photographs are products of a moment and while photographs capture that time, memories continue to change. They are a victim of time and under the influence of other memories.
Collected here are the places and people in my life. It could be my childhood bedroom, close friends who have grown apart, or a street I drive on every day. These passing moments from my life morph together and seep into my subconscious. They alter how the other moments are perceived, and my mind never stops reevaluating those spaces and those people. I do not remember them in a specific instance, but rather through my experiences that morph together over time. These ideas of these spaces and the people in my life will forever be in a constant state of evolution.
