The Memories series consists of acrylic paintings on black-and-white prints of movie scenes. These artworks are reliefs, created by building up layers of paint strokes. With only 0.5% pigment added to a transparent acrylic medium, I apply thousands of strokes to the original image, gradually obscuring its representation. The amount of paint I use depends on the original value of the image, resulting in a relief that echoes the initial idea. Through this series, I explore the concept of collective and individual memory. I draw from the idea of Memory Work—how we interpret past experiences to make sense of our present circumstances. In this process of translation, the original experience transforms into a new language, far removed from what it once was. Yet, people often treat memories as absolute truths, relying on them to define their identities. I challenge this notion, questioning whether memories truly hold the key to understanding who we are in the present.
