In case I forget

My work explores personal memory through its fluidity, loss, and fragmentary nature. Memory is neither a fixed narrative nor exclusively tied to the past. It is shaped by sensations, emotions, and the continuous encounters between past and present, as well as by our expectations of the future. My interest in memory stems from a persistent question that has followed me for years: why do I remember so little? I first became aware of this as a university student, during conversations about childhood and school years. While others seemed able to recall moments, stories, and details with ease, I found myself unable to do the same. I kept asking myself: Why don’t I remember? Since then, the question has remained with me like a shadow. Am I afraid of forgetting moments of my life? Am I afraid that those moments were too insignificant to occupy a place in my memory? If I forget parts of my life, do I lose parts of myself as well?
