Marking Memory 

For my degree project, I explored how the ephemerality of memory shapes individuals, families, and the collective. Inspired by a beloved family member’s dementia diagnosis, I created a personal archive to preserve and commemorate familial stories.

This archive serves as a microcosm within the larger timeline of history, capturing the narratives of someone significant not only to me but also to her family and community. In doing so, I highlight the importance of preserving memories through objects and practices that will hopefully remain beyond our lifetimes and well into the future.
