Portraits of fading memories

Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart. No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
— Haruki Murakami

I have been fascinated by the concept of memories. If we stop to think about it, that’s all that is left of our past. Memories have a way of staying with us.

Memories fade with time, and the pictorial associations with those memories become unclear and blurry. Freezing time and holding onto those moments so that we can cherish them as memories, is one of the important reasons why we photograph.

This body of work titled Fading Memories is an attempt to make some sketches of the past — portraits of memories as I know them.
