Abstract
Deconstructing Memory is a body of work that winnows the value of physical images through memory and story in the digital age. Starting with time-lapse photography, and ending with the shredded remnants of the 1,600+ images I’ve uploaded to social networks, I’m searching for new ways to associate with my own memories through creative thinking. The stripped-down content can trigger experiences — overlapping intersections can shift perception. The work has materialized questions about the altered value society has placed on photography and history, our deeply rooted connection to social media and our drifting detachment from human memory and the physical world.
