Within this project I am exploring moments of reminiscence. These moments are personal, occurring often and fleetingly in my life. Their brevity makes them hard to articulate so this project is an exploration of what these moments are and how they occur, to find if they can ever be captured and translated.

I have explored the science behind emotion and memory to understand why memories persist, studied how and where these moments show up throughout my life, and experimented with physical and digital documentation, in the hopes of offering a voice to these moments in time.
