VISIBLE. INVISIBLE. CERTAIN MEMORIES CAN NEVER FADE.


The work examines the fading of memory and the quiet intervals left by time. Fragments of recollection blur and fragment as moments recede. Within this process of disappearance lies a question about how perception and identity persist amid uncertainty.

Using printmaking as the primary medium, layered impressions emerge through rhythmic carving and varied tonal depth, reconstructing traces of shifting memories. The blank spaces suggest pauses in time—points where thought drifts between presence and absence.

A suspended black metal mesh introduces a sense of distance and restraint, evoking the intangible psychological boundaries that separate remembrance from oblivion.

Scattered plaster fragments on the floor act as vessels of hidden memory. Within faint cracks, familiar forms surface, transforming absence into visibility, and allowing memory and time to converge within the same fragmentary trace.

The work invites reflection on what lies between sight and concealment, presence and disappearance. It proposes that perception of the present may rest upon what has quietly faded—remnants that, though unseen, continue to shape how existence is experienced.
