Photography and memory share a precarious relationship. We appreciate photos for their ability to capture fleeting moments and immortalize them as permanent memories. The nature of the camera; however, deceives and distorts reality through the photographer’s artistic choices and framing. With the use of a plastic Holga camera and overlapping exposures, I capture the essence of time in relation to memory by highlighting an evolution of locations; reflecting the physical and metaphorical journey of the viewer. My ongoing series Morphology of Memory depicts multiple locations and moments in time overlapping with one another to represent the recollection of past experiences - not as separate snapshots but as one complete and continuous picture.
