FADING ECHOS

Photographic print on transparency

​_________________________________

Capturing the disorienting experiences of navigating the different stages of life and memory. Evoking the sense of memories slipping away even as they continue to shape the person you are today. Telling a story of different moments in life where one feels vulnerable.

The first image, with its blurred figure almost lost within the surroundings, speaks of the struggles of facing challenges alone, implying the weight of the world resting solely on your shoulders alone. The blurry lines suggest fading memories yet still linger in the back of your mind, serving as a reminder of the battles fought. 

In the second image, an obscured figure reflects the feeling of disconnection: being present in the moment yet somehow detached from it, almost feeling like life is moving on without you rather than being an active participant. These memories creep into one’s mind uninvited, reminding them of times when they felt invisible, almost like a mere shadow in their life.

The third image, where the figure seems to disappear into the dark, captures the feeling of choosing to withdraw from the world. Reminded of the overwhelming moments in life. Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life, where certain memories influence the different emotions and decisions made.

Together, these images tell the story of life — fading memories, being present yet absent, the different struggles, and the creeping nature of certain memories that one holds on to. Serving as a reminder that life is a series of echoes, fading gently yet still greatly affecting our life decisions.
