Marked for Memory

2022 - 2023

Marked for Memory is meant to mirror the feeling of dissociation through fragmentation and disorientation and is represented as a nightmarish dystopia. These records are represented in painted graphs and printed matter, and elements of the work are intentionally left raw to communicate the physical shock of unwanted memories flooding in.

This collection of work is an analysis of the effects of being haunted by past experiences, processing intergenerational trauma and how it manifests in cycles. It is a cycle of grief for the past, for loved ones, and learning new ways to operate within societal expectations. Each cycle is a series of records created to translate psychological wounds into physical impressions, exploring how each memory behaves and impacts the individual struggling to thrive within existing colonial social structures.
