New Years 1988

How do we relive the past? Through memories, many of which has been created through photographic representations of events that we have no physical recollection of. Photographs evoke a nostalgia for once was. In this case, with no physical recollection of this particular moment in time, the image is blurred. Not only to emphasize the lack of remembrance but to evoke the sensation of a daze,one  that I particularly felt as child due to various eye problems and constraints. Blurry images are all I know of my infancy and early childhood. Memory remains a cloud of sensations.

Risk Taking. of endings and new beginings.
