Photographs preserve moments, but they do not preserve memory in the same way. As time passes, names fade, relationships change, and stories are retold, allowing old images to acquire new meanings beyond the moment they first recorded.

Family albums become living archives where remembrance and forgetting exist together. They carry traces of intimacy, migration, celebration, grief, and everyday life, while also revealing the gaps left by time. What remains visible is only part of a larger history shaped by absence as much as presence.

Old family photographs are brought together with newly made images, allowing different times, places, and generations to occupy the same frame. The resulting compositions blur the boundaries between document and recollection, suggesting that memory is continually reconstructed rather than simply recovered.
